Enthalpy of neutralisation of NaOH with H_(2)SO_(4) is -57.3kJ mol^(-1) and with ethanoic acid -55.2 kJ mol^(-1). Which of the following is the best explanation of this difference?

Answer»

Ethanoic ACID is WEAK acid and thus requires less `NaOH` for neutralisation
Ethanoic acid is only partly ionized, neutralisation is THEREFORE incomplete
Ethanoic acid is monobasic while `H_(2)SO_(4)` is dibasic
Some heat is used to ionize the ethanoic acid completely.

Solution :Enthanoic acid is weak acid and it requires so heat for its IONIZATION.
