How can I find the enthalpy of neutralization for a given neutralization reaction? Is there a formula for this?
yes. there is formual and systamatic procedure is there for calculation of enthalpy of neutralization .
we have standard enthalphy values in the table form you can find any text book and online also . those are standard thermodynamic values
suppose . the reaction between NaOH and HCl
first write reaction .
NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) -----------------> NaCl (aq) + H2O (l)
Hneutralisation = Hproducts - Hreactants
= (HNaCl + HH2O) - (HNaOH + HHCl)
= (–407.3 –285.8) - (–469.2 –167.2)
= -693.1 + 636.4
= - 56.7 kJ / mol
