Okay..my head exploded when I read this question.
The enthalpy of neutralization for ALL strong acid-strong base reactions should be the same within experimental error. Explain. Will that also be the case for all weak acid-stong base reactions? Explain. |

I don't even know what enthalpy means. Sorry.... |

In college we had an alternative to thermodynamics and I took it. And I'm embarrassed that I don't really remember enough from high school chemistry to even remember what enthalpy means. Something like the reciprocal of entropy? Or was that Gibbs Free Energy? |

Here is the most concise definiton of enthalpy I managed to find: # S: (n) heat content, total heat, enthalpy, H ((thermodynamics) a thermodynamic quantity equal to the internal energy of a system plus the product of its volume and pressure) "enthalpy is the amount of energy in a system capable of doing mechanical work"
Don't know if that helps or not. |

Thanks everyone!  ..I'm still really confused though. |
