A quantity of 2.00 × 102 mL of 0.852 M HCl is mixed with 2.00 × 102 mL of 0.426 M Ba(OH)2 in a constant-pressure calorimeter of negligible heat capacity. The initial temperature of the HCl and Ba(OH)2 solutions is the same at 20.69°C. For the process below, the heat of neutralization is −56.2 kJ/mol. What is the final temperature of the mixed solutions?
H+(aq) + OH−(aq) → H2O(l)
