Detailed Solution

We can calculate the milliequivalents of NaOH and HCl as:

Milli equivalents of NaOH = 100 × 0.1 =10 

Milli equivalents of HCl = 100 × 0.1 =10 

As a result, the amount of heat generated by neutralizing 10 milliequivalents of HCl with 10 milliequivalents of NaOH is xKJ. However, the process of neutralizing one equivalent of HCl with one equivalent of NaOH generates heat. Therefore,

ΔH=-Q10 × 10-3=-100 Q kJ/mol 

Therefore, the correct option is B.
