MCQ
If heat of neutralization is $-13.7\, KCal$ at $25\,^oC$ and $\Delta H_f^o (H_2O) = -68\, KCal$ then standard enthalpy of formation of $OH^-$ will be.....$KCal$
  • A
    $54.3$
  • $-54.3$
  • C
    $71.3$
  • D
    $-71.3$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$-54.3$
b
$\mathrm{H}^{+}+\mathrm{OH}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}, \Delta \mathrm{H}^{o}=-13.7$

$\Delta \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{r}}^{o}=\Delta \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{f}}^{o}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)-\Delta \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{f}}^{o}\left(\mathrm{OH}^{-}\right)$

$-13.7=-68-\Delta H_{f}\left(OH^{-}\right)$

$\Delta \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{f}}\left(\mathrm{OH}^{-}\right)=-54.3 \,\mathrm{KCal}$
