JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2022 - 25th July Evening Shift - No. 16)

While performing a thermodynamics experiment, a student made the following observations.

HCl + NaOH $$\to$$ NaCl + H2O $$\Delta$$H = $$-$$57.3 kJ mol$$-$$1

CH3COOH + NaOH $$\to$$ CH3COONa + H2O $$\Delta$$H = $$-$$55.3 kJ mol$$-$$1

The enthalpy of ionization of CH3COOH as calculated by the student is _____________ kJ mol$$-$$1. (nearest integer)

Answer
2

Explanation

(I) $$\mathrm{HCl}+\mathrm{NaOH} \rightarrow \mathrm{NaCl}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$$

$$ \Delta \mathrm{H}_{1}=-57.3 \,\mathrm{KJ} \mathrm{mol}^{-1} $$

(II) $$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}+\mathrm{NaOH} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COONa}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$$

$$ \Delta \mathrm{H}_{2}=-55.3 \,\mathrm{KJ} \mathrm{mol}^{-1} $$

Reaction (I) can be written as

$$ \text { (III) } \mathrm{NaCl}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{HCl}+\mathrm{NaOH} $$

$$ \Delta \mathrm{H}_{3}=57.3 \,\mathrm{KJ} \mathrm{mol}^{-1} $$

By adding (II) and (III)

$$ \begin{aligned} &\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}+\mathrm{NaCl} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COONa}+\mathrm{HCl} \quad \Delta \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{r}} \\ &\begin{aligned} \Delta \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{r}}=\Delta \mathrm{H}_{3}+\Delta \mathrm{H}_{2} &=57.3-55.3 \\ &=2 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \end{aligned} \end{aligned} $$
