Detailed Solution

The reaction of neutralization of Sulfuric acid with Sodium hydroxide is given below:

H2SO4+2NaOHNa2SO4+2H2O 

The enthalpy for this reaction will be -114.64 KJ because the heat is liberated in the reaction.

When 1M of Sulfuric acid is neutralized the 2 moles of water is released. So, for 1 mole of water the enthalpy will be:

Enthalpy=-114.642=-57.32 KJ 

So, the enthalpy will be -57.32 KJ.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
