Strong acids, strong bases and their salts ionize completely in the solution. Consider the neutralization of hydrochloric acid by sodium hydroxide, which is as follows:

acids-bases-and-salts-icse-solutions-for-class-10-chemistry-14
This shows that heat of neutralization of a strong acid by a strong base is nothing, but heat of formation of water molecule from hydrogen and hydroxyl ions, hence it is in the same and fixed quantity.
