Chemical Thermodynamics Question 414

Question: The enthalpy of neutralisation of a weak acid in 1 M solution with a strong base is 56.1kcalmol1. If the enthalpy of ionisation of acid is 1.5kcalmol1 and enthalpy of neutralisation of the strong acid with a strong base is 57.3kJeq1 . What is the % ionisation of the weak acid in molar solution (assume the acid is monobasic)

Options:

A) 25

B) 20

C) 15

D) 10

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • The enthalpy of ionisation of weak acid is given by ΔHion(HA)

=ΔHN (weak acid / strong base) - ΔHN (strong acid / strong base) =56.1(57.3)=1.2kJ,mol1

ΔH(ionisation)=1.5,kJmol-1

Hence % ionisation in 1 M solution =(1.51.2)1.5×100=20 %
