Best Answer

The heats of reaction for neutralization of NaOH and an acid will be largest if the acid is a mineral acid. (HCl, HF, HNO3, etc...) If NaOH neutralizes with an organic acid, the heat will be somewhat less because of the partially ionizing property of weak organic acids. (phenol, enol, alcohol, etc...)

It would depend a little on the concentrations and how fast you add the sodium hydroxide. If they had the same concentration the strong acid would react more and thus produce heat quicker.
