You are performing a strong acid-strong base reaction in a calorimeter by adding aliquots of strong acid to the base in the calorimeter. If, at some point, the temperature is not changing, what can you conclude about the solution in the calorimeter?
a. It's neutral
b. It's basic
c. It's acidic
d. It's leaking
I want to say A but I have no idea why . . . thanks.

The answer is A as you said.
The enthalpy of Strong acid and strong base reaction is fixed and it is -57.3Kj/mol. So as soon as you reach the neutral solution, the temperature stop changing.
