Statement : Heat of neutration for HF ...

Statement `:` Heat of neutration for `HF ` is `-68.552kJ //eq.` whereas for `HCl` it is `-57.26kJ //eq.`
Explanation `:` The acid `HF` is weak acid.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a
No doubt `HF` is weak acid but the higher values are due to extensive hydration of `F^(-)` ion being smallest anion `(` only `H^(-)` is smaller than `F^(-))`.
