Enthalpy of neutralization
Question

Given that the data for neutralization of a weak acid (HA) and strong acid with a strong base is :
HA + OH- → A- + H2O; ΔH =  - 41.80kJ
H+ + OH- →  H2O; ΔH = - 55.90kJ
The enthalpy of dissociation of weak acid would be

Moderate
Solution

ΔHn = ΔdH + (-55.9 KJ)
ΔdH = -41.8+55.9
       = 14.1 KJ

Where ΔdH = Enthalpy of dissociation (or) Ionization of weak electrolyte
