Given that, for the reaction H+ (aq) + OH- (aq) H2 O (I), energy released is 57.1 kJ. Three reactions are given as follows
(1) 0.25 mole of HCI in solution is neutralized by 0.25 mole of NaOH; heat released is Δdiv.
(2) 0.5 mole of HNO3 in solution is mixed with 0.2 mole of KOH solution; heat released is ΔH2.
(3) 200 cm3 of 0.2 M HCI solution is mixed with 300 cm3 of 0.1 M NaOH solution heat released is ΔH3.
The correct order for the numerical value of Δdiv, ΔH2, ΔH3 would be?

In 1st ... 0.25 mol HCl will react wilth 0.25 mol NaOH, so the reaction will be NaOH + HCl ~ H2O + NaCl, so ∆H1=∆H .In 2nd reaction also there is reaction between an strong acid and strong base but 0.5 mol will not have any impact.so ∆H2=∆H. In 3rd also there is same   reaction but 10 milimoles remain in react that will only change pH of Sol. So ∆H1=
