Question Number 22879 by Tinkutara last updated on 23/Oct/17
The Enthalpy of neutralization of  acetic acid and sodium hydroxide is  −55.4 kJ. What is the enthalpy of  ionisation of acetic acid?

⇒ enthalpy of ionisation  = (−55.4)−(−57.3)  = 1.9 kj/eq
$$\Rightarrow\:{enthalpy}\:{of}\:{ionisation} \\ $$$$=\:\left(−\mathrm{55}.\mathrm{4}\right)−\left(−\mathrm{57}.\mathrm{3}\right) \\ $$$$=\:\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{9}\:{kj}/{eq} \\ $$

Can you explain by writing chemical  reactions?

alright.   CH_3 COOH ⇌ CH_3 COO^− +H^(+ ) ,ΔH=x  ...i      Na^+ + OH^(− ) + CH_3 COO^− +H^+   → Na^+ +CH_3 COO^− + H_2 O  ,ΔH=−57.3 KJ  ...ii        i + ii  CH_3 COOH + Na^+ +OH^−  → CH_3 COONa  +H_(2 ) O  ΔH =− 55.4 KJ (given)  using hesses law    ⇒ −55.4 = −57.3 + x  ⇒ x = 1.9 KJ    alternate trick :  just understand the concept the  the amount of heat which has not  been liberated has been used to  ionize the acid.

But only heat is 57.3 kJ when reaction  of strong acid and strong base. So why  why you have used 57.3 here?

well,actually that is the enthalpy  of reaction of a acid{IONISED}  and an IONISED base.   no matter whether its strong or  weak,both hav to be in ionic form.
