Could I get a solution to this question?

In a laboratory experiment in calorimetry, 100 mL of 0.500 M of acetic acid is mixed with 100 mL of 0.500 M sodium hydroxide in a calorimeter. The temperature rises from 25.00 C to 27.55 C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 150.48 J/C, and the density of the resulting solution is 1.034g/mL. Given that the specific heat capacity of 0.250 M of sodium acetate is 4.034 Jg-1C-1, calculate the enthalpy of neutralization of acetic acid.

Answer: -50.2kJ/mol

perhaps you should explain what you've done so far. We don't help you with your homework unless you demonstrate you have at least tried to do it yourself.
