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)`
