  1. Since monobasic acid and monoacidic base both are strong, so high energy is not required to abstract H+ ion from acid or OH- ion from base.
  2. so the only significant reaction involved for calculation of enthalpy of neutralization reaction is H+ OH- \rightarrow H2O
Thus Enthalpy of neutralisation is constant and is equal to -57.32 kj/mol
