Answer
Neutralisation is the process by which [H+] ions of an acid react completely with the [OH- ] ions of a base to give salt and water only.
(a) Base + Acid ⟶ Salt + water
NaOH + HCl ⟶ NaCl + H2O
In the above neutralisation reaction Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) is the base and Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is the acid.
(b) When one mole of a strong acid reacts with one mole of a strong base, the number of [H+] and [OH-] ions produced is always same. Hence the heat of neutralization of a strong acid with strong base is always same.
