Chemical Thermodynamics Question 15

Question: The heat of neutralisation of a strong acid and a strong alkali is $ 57.0 kJ mo{{l}^{-1}} $ . The heat released when $ 0.5 mole $ of $ HNO_3 $ solution is mixed with $ 0.2 mole $ of $ KOH $ is [KCET 1991; AIIMS 2002; AMU (Engg.) 2002]

Options:

A) $ 57.0 kJ $

B) $ 11.4 kJ $

C) $ 28.5 kJ $

D) $ 34.9 kJ $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

0.2 mole will neutralize 0.2 mole of $ HNO_3 $ , heat evolved $ =57\times 0.2=11.4 kJ. $
