NaOH + HCI→NaCl + H2O. Enthalpy change in the above reaction is called:

Correct answer: C. Enthalpy of neutralization

  • A. Enthalpy of reaction
  • B. Enthalpy of formation
  • C. Enthalpy of neutralization
  • D. Enthalpy of combustion

Explanation

The standard enthalpy of neutralization is the amount of heat evolved when one mole of H+ ions from an acid react with one mole of OH- ions from a base to form one mole of water under standard conditions i.e. 298K and one atmosphere pressure.
