What is the approximate enthalpy of neutralisation of a strong acid by a strong base in dilute solution?

Correct answer D. −57.3 kJ mol⁻¹

Explanation

For strong acids and bases the reaction is essentially H⁺ + OH⁻ → H₂O in every case, so the enthalpy of neutralisation is nearly constant at about −57.3 kJ mol⁻¹.
