    Most weak acids have larger anions that probably are more weakly solvated but F- is a much smaller anion so it will be more strongly solvated. This seems to have the result that despite the stronger H-F bond the combination of forming the OH bond and formation of better solvation gives rise to a more stable solution and a greater heat of neutralization

    I must admit I didn’t know the facts before reading the question and was at first doubtful so had to look them up. I already knew that when fluorine is involved the Chemistry is strange at best. Thanks for the question I think I have thought out the answer

    so always for strong acid and base the enthalpy of neutrlaisation always remain constant

    so lastly the reaction remains as H+ + OH- = H20

    The enthalpy of neutralization of any strong acid and strong base is always constant, i.e. 57.1 kJ because both the acid and base undergo complete ionization.

    eduncle-logo-app

    Since Dissociation of hydrofluoric acid produces F- and H+ since size of F- is small so it is extensively hydrated which releases large amount of energy(known as hydration energy) which account for its higher neutralizations enthalpy than that of strong acids.

    eduncle-logo-app

    most of the weak acids have larger size of anionic part but in HF the size of F- is small so it is hydrated more and hydration energy play its role here...so the enthalpy of neutralisation comes out to be more than 13.7 kcal/mole(-57.1kj/mole).
