In which of the following reactions, the enthalpy is the least?

Answer»

`CH_(3)COOH+NaOH to CH_(3)COONa+H_(2)O`
`HCl+NH_(4)OH to NH_(4)Cl+H_(2)O`
`HCl+NaOH to NaCl+H_(2)O`
`HCN+NH_(4)OH to NH_(4)CN+H_(2)O`

Solution :In neutralisation REACTION, when acid and base both are WEAK, a large amount of heat is UTILISED to ionise them. THUS, for such reaction, enthalpy of the reaction is least.
