Solution

The correct option is D 2.1×104 J
Total volume of solution =500+500=1000 mL.
The density of the solution is 1 g/mL
Total mass of solution = Density × volume =1.0 g/mL ×1000 mL =1000 g.
Approximate energy released q= mass × specific heat of the solution × temperature change
q=1000×4.184×5.0=2.1×104 J
