Thermochemical Equation of Neutralization
Exactly 10.0 mL each of 0.100 M HCl and 0.100 M NaOH are combined in a Styrofoam cup at room temperature (24.3°C). Over the next 3 minutes, the temperature increases to 25.0°C. Use the provided chart to determine the thermochemical equation for this reaction.

A
HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O + 59 kJ
B
59 kJ + HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O
C
0.059 kJ + HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O
D
HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O + 0.059 kJ
