Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R)
Assertion (A) : Enthalpy of neutralisation of strong monobasic acid with strong monoacidic base is always
−57 kJ mol−1
Reason (R) : Enthalpy of neutralisation is the amount of heat liberated when one mole of
H+ ions furnished by acid combine with one mole of
−OH ions furnished by base to form one mole of water.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
