Solution
The correct option is B 57.1 kJ/mol A strong acid like HCl and a strong base NaOH dissociate completely into their ions in aqueous solution. The neutralization of hydrogen and hydroxyl ions give water.
This solution is said to be neutral as no excess hydrogen ions are left and the value is 7. This is an exothermic reaction and energy released is -57.1 kJ/mol.
