How does the atomic structure of an acid affect its heat of neutralization?
For example, if using different acids of the same molarity, and neutralizing them with the same type/concentration of base, the heat of enthalpy would be different due to differences in the acids, right?
What does structure have to do with this?
Is the number of H ions in a molecule considered part of an acid's structure?
If you can include any websites that also help answer this, I would be very grateful.
Thanks! :)

I think the only important structural characteristic of the acid and base is the extent to which it's ionized to H+ and OH-. A weak acid/base is much less ionized than a strong acid/base meaning that less H+ and OH- combine to make water. Each time a molecule of water is formed, covalent bonds are created and energy (heat) is released.
