Question

The enthalpies of neutralisation of NaOH and NH4OH by HCl are 13680 calories and 12270cal respectively. What would be the enthalpy change of one gram equivalent of NaOH is added to one gram equivalent of NH4Cl is solution? Assume that NH4OH and NaCl are quantitatively obtained (only magnitude in cal).

Solution

Enthalpy of neutralization is change in enthaply when 1 g equivalent of an acid reacts completely with 1 gram equivalent of base in dilute solution.
R1:NaOH(aq.)+HCl(aq)NaCl(aq)+H2O;ΔH1=13680cal
R2:NH4OH(aq.)+HCl(aq)NH4Cl(aq)+H2O;ΔH2=12270cal
R1R2NH4Cl(aq.)+NaOH(aq)NH4OHl(aq)+NaC(aq.)
Given that 1 gram equivalent of NaOH is added to 1 gram equivalent of NH4Cl
ΔH=ΔH1ΔH2=13680+12270=1410cal
Answer = 1410
