The enthalpy of neutralization of a Weak...

The enthalpy of neutralization of a Weak monoprotic acid (HA) in 1 M solution with a strong base is -55.95 KJ/mol . If the unionized acid required 1.4 KJ/mol heat for it's comptate ionzatation and enthalpy of netralization of the strong monobasic acid with a strong monoacidic base is -57.3 KJ/mol . What is the % ionzation of the weak acid in molar solution ?

A

`1%`

B

`3.57%`

C

`35.7%`

D

0.1

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`HArarrH^(+)+A^(-),Delta_(r)H=1.4` kJ/mol
`DeltaH_("neutralization")=DeltaH_("ionization")+Delta_(r)H`
`(H^(+)+OH^(-)rarrH_(2)O)`
`-55.95=DeltaH_("ionization")-57.3`
`DeltaH_("ionization")" for 1 M HA = 1.35 kJ"//"mol"`
% heat utilized by 1 M acid for ionization
`=(1.35)/(1.4)xx100=96.43%`
so, acid is 100-96.43 = 3.57% ionized
