Hello Dear.

This is the neutralization reactions :-
Reaction:-

____________________________
NaOH + CH₃COOH -----→ CH₃COONa + H₂O
____________________________

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol.
Mass of NaOH = 40 g.

∵ Number of Moles = mass/molar mass 
=40/40 = 1 mol


Molar mass of CH₃COOH = 60 g/mol.
Mass of CH₃COOH = 60 g.
Number of mole = 60/60 = 1 mol.

We know , NaOH is  the strong base whereas CH₃COOH is a weak acid .
The amount of heat released in the neutralization of strong acid by a strong base is always 57.1 k J . but since acetic acid is a weak acid , therefore some amount of energy is utilized in ionization of acetic acid.

Thus enthalpy of neutralization is less then 57.1 K J.


Hope it Helps.
