Write and ionic equation for the reaction of 1dm³ of MHCl with aqueous NaOH. How much heat would be evolved if 1dm³ of MH₂SO₄ is neutralized by aqueous NaOH?

Exercises

1a) Write and ionic equation for the reaction of 1dm³ of MHCl with aqueous NaOH.
The reaction is between hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
The net ionic equation, after canceling spectator ions ($\text{Na}^+$ and $\text{Cl}^-$), is:

$$\boxed{\text{H}^+\text{(aq)} + \text{OH}^-\text{(aq)} \to \text{H}_2\text{O(l)}}$$

1b) How much heat would be evolved if 1dm³ of MH₂SO₄ is neutralized by aqueous NaOH?

Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation.
