Heat of neutralization of a strong acid by a strong base is equal to ∆H of

A

H+ + OH+→ H2O

B

H2O + H+→ H3O+

C

2H2 + O2 = 2H2O

D

CH3COOH+ NaOH = CH3COONa + H2O

Answer

H+ + OH+→ H2O

Explanation

Solution

Since heat neutralization of strong acid and strong base is equal to the of formation of water.

i.e., NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H2O + Q

Were Q = heat of neutralization

⇒ Na+ + OH + H+ + Cl → Na++Cl + H2O + Q

⇒ H+ + OH → H2O + Q
