A student transferred 50.0 mL 1.00 M HCl into a coffee-cup calorimeter, which had a temperature of 25.5 oC. He then added 50.0 mL 1.00 M NaOH, which also had a temperature of 25.5 oC, and stirred the mixture quickly. The resulting solution was found to have a temperature of 32.5 oC. The calorimeter constant for the coffee-cup calorimeter used was 15.0 J/oC. Calculate the heat of reaction.
