Equal volumes of 1 M HNO3 and 1 M H3PO4 are neutralised by dilute NaOH solution. If x and y K.cals are the heats liberated in the neutralisation of HNO3 and H3PO4 respectively, the relation between x and y (assume H3PO4 is completely ionised).

Solution
The correct option is B3x=y H3PO4 has 3 moles of H+ while HNO3 has 1 mole of H+ Therefore energy released in case of H3PO4= 3 x energy released in case of HNO3 ∴y=3x
