Chemical Thermodynamics Question 376

Question: The enthalpy of neutralisation of NH4OH and CH3COOH is 10.5kcalmol1 and enthalpy of neutralisation of CH3COOH with strong base is 12.5,kcalmol1 . The enthalpy of ionisation of NH4OH will be

Options:

A) 3.2kcalmol1

B) 2.0kcalmol1

C) 3.0kcalmol1

D) 4.0kcalmol1

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • ΔneuH for strong base and strong acid =13.7kcal,eq1

ΔHion(CH3COOH)

=12.5(13.7)=1.2kcalmol1

ΔHion(NH4OH)

=10.5(13.7)ΔHion(CH3COOH)

=13.710.51.2

=2kcal,mol1
