Question

Heat of neutralisation of oxalic acid is -25.4 K cal mol-1 using strong base NaOH. Hence enthalpy change of the process :-
   H2C2O4 ⇋ 2H+ + C2O42- is :-

Options

A.2.0 kcal
B.-11.8 kcal
C.1.0 kcal
D.-1.0 kcal

Solution

Heat of neutralisation of diboric acid H2C2O4 would have been - 27.4 kcal but some heat evolved is used in dissociation of weak acid H2C2O4
Heat used for dissociation = 27.4 - 25.4 = 2kcal
