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

    A) \[-13.7\text{ }kcal\]

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

    C)  \[+30.1\text{ }kcal\]

    D) \[+\text{ }3.01\text{ }kcal\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     (i) \[HF+O{{H}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{H}_{2}}O+{{F}^{-}};\Delta \Eta =-16.4\,kcal\] (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) \[HF\xrightarrow{{}}{{H}^{+}}+{{F}^{-}};\Delta \Eta =-2.7kcal.\]
