Question

Define heat of neutralization?

Answer 1

it occurs when one equivalent of a base undergo a neutralisation reaction to form water and salt..

hope it will help u..

Answer 2

Answer: It is also called as Enthalpy of neutralization

Enthalpy of neutralization

The enthalpy of neutralization is the change in enthalpy that occurs when one equivalent of an acid and one equivalent of a base undergo a neutralization reaction to form water and a salt. It is a special case of the enthalpy of reaction. It is defined as the energy released with the formation of 1 mole of water. It is always negative because Neutralization reactions are generally exothermic and thus ΔH is negative.
