Consider a hypothetical reaction where one mole of substance A reacts with one mole of substance B to form one mole of substance C. The reaction is exothermic, releasing 100 kJ of energy. Calculate the enthalpy change (ΔH) for the reaction. If the reaction is carried out in a constant-pressure calorimeter and the initial temperature of the reactants is 25°C, what will be the final temperature after the reaction is complete? Assume no heat is lost to the surroundings.
