Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion As we know, Heat of neutralisation of strong acid and strong base is equal to −57.3kJmol−1 and HClO4 and HCl both are strong acid. So, heat of neutralisation of perchloric acid, HClO4, with NaOH is same as that of HCl with NaOH.
