In the neutralization process ions come to each other and form salt and water.
HCL is strong acid means H+ + CL-
and NaOH is strong base means Na+ + OH-
So there is not any energy loss to break HCL or NaOH. total energy will come as neutralisation.
In Case of NaOH + CH3COOH
NaOH is strong base means Na+ + OH-
But CH3COOH is a weak acid so have to give some energy to form CHCOO- + H+
So total released energy== total energy in case of (strong acid + strong base) - energy require to form ions.
3.7 = 13.7 - energy require to form ions
energy require to form ions= 10.00 kcal.
only CH3COOH is weak nature
So this enegy is ionisation energy of CH3COOH
