Standard Enthalpy of Neutralisation
The standard enthalpy of neutralisation ΔHneut is the enthalpy change when an acid and a base react to form 1 mole of water under standard conditions (1.0 moldm-3, 298K, 100kPa). The enthalpy of neutralisation is the sum of the enthalpy of ionisation of the acid and base and the enthalpy of the reaction
