Solution

The correct option is B 5 kJ.mol1
H3PO32H++HPO23;ΔrH=?
2H++2OH2H2O

If it is a strong acid, the enthalpy of neutralization will be
ΔrH=55.84×2=111.68, since 2 protons are replaced.

If we substract this value from the actual value, the enthalpy of dissociation can be obtained.
106.68=ΔionH55.84×2
ΔHionization=5 kJ.mol1
