Chapter 17, Problem 17.151MP

Consider the reaction that occurs on mixing 50.0 mL of 0.560 M $NaHC{O}_3$ and 50.0 mL of 0.400 M NaOH at 25°C.

1. Write a balanced net ionic equation for the reaction.
2. What is the pH of the resulting solution?
3. How much heat (in joules) is liberated by the reaction?(Standard heats of formation are given in Appendix B.)
4. What is the final temperature of the solution to the nearest 0.1 °C. You may assume that all the heat liberated is absorbed by the solution, the mass of the solution is 100.0 g, and its specific heat is 4.18 j/(g.°C).
