A mixture of a strong base and a strong acid produce a neutral salt and water.
This is the reaction of neutralization:
HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O
NaCl → Na⁺ + Cl⁻
Sodium chloride is neutral salt which does not give H⁻ neither OH⁻ to medium, that's why pH is neutral.
Both ions are derivated from a strong acid and base so they do not make hydrolisis. They are a conjugate pair of a weak acid and base. The reactions can not occur:
Explanation: Heat flows from high to low. After you convert the Celsius into kelvin the Zn pellet has 323K and the water has 301K which results the transfer of the heat energy of the pallet to the water. ( you don’t have to convert, but it just make it easier) hope this helped you :)
