The heat of neutralisation remains constant, when there is a reaction between dilute solutions of strong _____________________?

Correct answer: A. Base and strong acid

  • A. Base and strong acid
  • B. Base and weak acid
  • C. Acid and weak base
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Dilute strong acid and strong base are both completely ionised, so their net ionic reaction is always H+ + OH− forming water and has nearly constant heat of neutralisation. Weak acids or bases require additional ionisation energy, so their heats vary.
