    The enthalpy of neutralisation of \[N{{H}_{4}}OH\]with HCl is -51.46 kJ \[\text{mo}{{\text{l}}^{-1}}\] and the enthalpy of neutralisation of NaOH with HCl is -55.90 kJ \[\text{mo}{{\text{l}}^{-1}}\]. The enthalpy of ionisation of\[N{{H}_{4}}OH\] His                   JEE Main  Online Paper (Held On 19  May  2012)

    A)                 \[\text{-107}\text{.36}\,\text{kJ}\,\text{mo}{{\text{l}}^{-1}}\]                  

    B)                 \[\text{-4}\text{.44}\,\text{kJ}\,\text{mo}{{\text{l}}^{-1}}\]                

    C)                 \[\text{+107}\text{.36}\,\text{kJ}\,\text{mo}{{\text{l}}^{-1}}\]                

    D)                 \[\text{+4}\text{.44}\,\text{kJ}\,\text{mo}{{\text{l}}^{-1}}\]                

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\underset{Strong\,acid}{\mathop{HCl\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}}}\,\underset{(Complete\,ionisation)}{\mathop{{{H}^{+}}+C{{l}^{-}}}}\,\]                  ...(i) \[N{{H}_{4}}OHNH_{4}^{+}+O{{H}^{-}}\] Weak base          \[\Delta H=xkJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]   ?(ii) \[{{H}^{+}}+O{{H}^{-}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}{{H}_{2}}O\]                                   \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  (from\,neutralisation\,of \\  strong\,acid\,and\,strong\,base) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\Delta H=-55.90\,kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}}}\,\]                       ...(iii) From equation (i), (ii) and (iii) \[\Delta H=-51.46kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\] \[\therefore \]\[x+(-55.90)=-51.46\] \[x=-51.46+55.90\] \[=4.44\,kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\] \[\therefore \] Enthalpy of ionisation of \[N{{H}_{4}}OH=4.44kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]
