« on: November 11, 2007, 04:04:59 PM »
In an experiment we're doing at school, we had 50 mL ofdistilled water, and dropped sodium hydroxide pellets into it and recorded the temperature change.  In order for me to do the calcalations, i need to konw the chemical equation of this.

any idea what it would be between NaOH(s) and water?
