The heat of neutralisation of HCl by NaOH is -55.9 kJ/mole. If the heat of neutralisation of HCN by NaOH is -12.1 kJ/mole, then energy of dissociation of HCN is-
The heat of neutralisation = -55.9 kJ
The heat of neutralisation of HCN by NaOH = the heat of neutralisation + the energy of dissociation of HCN
= -12.1 kJ
or the energy of dissociation of HCN
= +55.9-12.1 = 43.8 kJ
