Chemical Thermodynamics Question 413

Question: The heats of neutralisation of $ CH_3COOH $ , $ HCOOH,HCN $ and $ H_2S $ are $ -13.2,-13.4 $ , $ ~-2.9 $ and $ -3.8kcal $ per equivalent respectively. Arrange the acids in increasing order of strength

Options:

A) $ HCOOH>CH_3COOH>H_2S>HCN $

B) $ CH_3COOH>HCOOH>H_2S>HCN $

C) $ H_2S>HCOOH>CH_3COOH>HCN $

D) $ HCOOH>H_2S>CH_3COOH>HCN $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • The greater the (negative value) of heat of neutralisation, the more is the strength of the acid. Hence, $ HCOOH>CH_3COOH>H_2S>HCN $
