A solubility contains one mole each of HA and HB (both are weak acids) in one litre solution. Now 1 mole of NaOH is added to this solution so that both the acids are partly neutralised. Heat of neutralisation for HA and HB are- `11.8` and- `12.4` kcal respectively and the heat produced during partial neutralisation of HA and HB is- `12.25` kcal. Mole ratio of neutralisation of HA and HB is:A. `1:4`B. `1:2`C. `1:3`D. `1:5` |
Answer» Correct Answer - C Let a mole of HA and b mole of HB are neutralised. Thus, since both are monobasic acid, so `axx11.8+bxx12.4=12.25` Also, 1 mole of NaOH used only 1 mole of of both acids, thus `a+b=1` `axx11.8+(1-a)xx12.4=12.25` `:. a=0.25` and `b= 0.75` Thus mole ratio of neutralisation of HA and HB `= (0.25)/(0.75)=(1)/(3)` |
