Acetic acid (ethanoic acid) and hydrochloric acid react with `KOH` solution. The enthalpy of netralisation of ethanoic acid is `-55.8 kJ mol^(-1)` while that of hydrochloric acid is `-57.3 kJ mol^(-1)`. Can you think of how are these different?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Acetic acid is a weak acid and it does not ionise, completely. So some amount of energy is consumed in the ionisation of Acetic acid.
