The number of hydroxyl group in pyrophosphoric acid is
Which has the minimum freezing point
When $100 \ mL$ of $1.0 \ M \ HCl$ was mixed with $100 \ mL$ of $1.0 \ M \ NaOH$ in an insulated beaker at constant pressure, a temperature increase of $5.7^{\circ} C$ was measured for the beaker and its contents (Expt. $1$). Because the enthalpy of neutralization of a strong acid with a strong base is a constant $\left(-57.0 \ kJ \ mol ^{-1}\right)$, this experiment could be used to measure the calorimeter constant. In a second experiment (Expt. $2$), $100 \ mL$ of $2.0 \ M$ acetic acid $\left(K_a=2.0 \times 10^{-5}\right)$ was mixed with $100 \ mL$ of $1.0 M \ NaOH$ (under identical conditions to Expt. $1$) where a temperature rise of $5.6^{\circ} C$ was measured.
