Solution
The correct option is BΔionH(NH4OH)=4kJmol−1 Given 1: HCN(aq)+NaOH(aq)⟶NaCN(aq)+H2O+44kJ 2: HCN(aq)+NH4OH(aq)⟶NH4CN(aq)+H2O+40kJ (ΔfH)OH−(aq)=−229.5kJmol−1 (ΔfH)H2O(l))=−286.2kJmol−1 Difference between reaction 1 and 2 is due to the heat of ionization of weak base NH4OH.
Therefore ΔionH(NH4OH)=44−40=4kJ/mol
Enthalpy of neutralization of strong acid base is calculated as:
