Solution

The correct option is B negative
Energy (heat) is produced when an acid reacts with a base in a neutralisation reaction.
  • Neutralisation reactions are exothermic
  • ΔH for a neutralisation reaction is negative.
Molar heat of neutralisation (molar enthalpy of neutralisation) is the energy liberated per mole of water forming during a neutralisation reaction.
  • ΔHneut is the symbol given to the molar heat of neutralisation.
  • ΔHneut is usually given in units of kJ/mol.
