Solution

The correct option is D 6.6 kJ mol 1
C2H2O4+2NaOH(aq.)Na2C2O4(aq.)+2H2O(l)
ionic reaction / equation ahoms are
C2H2O4(aq.)+2OH(aq.)C2H24(aq.)+2H2O(aq.).... equation (1)
enthalpy for above reaction of H+ is written as H+(aq.)+OH(aq.)H2O(l)(2)
newtralisition enthalpy of above H4=57.3 KI
Let resonance equation (2) and multiply it by 2
new equation we get
2H2O(l)+2H+(aq)+2OH(aq.)(3)
enthalpy chance for above rcn=2×57.9=114.6 KI (reduced rn are)
add equatio (1) & (2)
C2H2O4(aq.)2H+(aq.)+C2O24(aq.)ΔH=6.6 KI
Therefore enthalpy of conjugation of oxalic acid is 6.6 KI
