Detailed Solution

The reaction of neutralization of acid and base is given below:

H++OH-H2O+Heat  

From the reaction we can say that one mole of H+ reacts with one mole of OH- to give 57 kJ. When 0.5 moles of acid (HNO3) reacts with 0.2 moles of base, then 0.2 moles of neutralization will take place. 0.3 moles will remain unreacted. 

H+0.2 mole+OH-0.2 moleH2O

So, the heat evolved will be:

Heat=57×0.21=11.4 KJ 

Therefore, the correct option is B.
