MgO is salt of weak base. Thus, enthalpy of neutralisation for MgO will be less than −57.33 kJ mol−1. Related Theory The enthalpy of neutralization of any strong acid with a strong base is always the same, i.e., 57.1 kJ. This is because the strong acids, strong bases and the salts they form, are all completely ionized in dilute aqueous solution.
The absolute enthalpy of neutralisation of the reaction: : MgO_(s)+2 HCl_(a q) → MgCl_2(a q)+ H_2 O_(∩ will be:
