Q. Which is the best definition of heat of neutralization?
A) The heat absorbed when one gram molecule of an acid is neutralized by one gram molecule of a base in dilute solution at a stated temperature
B) The heat set free or absorbed when one gram atom of an acid is neutralized by one gram atom of a base at a stated temperature
C) The heat set free or absorbed when a normal solution containing one gram-equivalent
of an acid neutralized by a normal solution containing one gram-equivalent of a base at a stated temperature
D) The heat set free when one gram-equivalent of an acid is neutralized by one gram-equivalent of a base in dilute solution at a stated temperature
