    Heat of neutralisation of \[HF\] (a weak acid) with strong base is\[-16.4\,\,kcal\]. Calculate heat of ionisation of \[HF\] in water.

    A) \[-13.7\,\,kcal\]

    B) \[-\text{ }2.7\,\,kcal\]

    C) \[+30.1\,\,kcal\]

    D) \[+3.01\,\,kcal\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    (i)\[HF+O{{H}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{H}_{2}}O+{{F}^{-}};\,\,\Delta H=-16.4\,\,kcal\] (ii)\[{{H}^{+}}+O{{H}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{H}_{2}}O;\,\,\Delta H=-13.7\,\,kcal\] From Eqs. (i)-(ii) gives the required equation (ionisation of \[HF\] in water) \[HF\xrightarrow{{}}{{H}^{+}}+{{F}^{-}};\,\,\Delta H=-2.7\,\,kcal\]
