NEET 2025 Chemistry Heat of Formation MCQ Question
The standard heat of formation, in kcal/mol of Ba²⁺ is: [Given: standard heat of formation of SO₄²⁻ ion (aq) = -216 kcal/mol, standard heat of crystallisation of BaSO₄(s) = -4.5 kcal/mol, standard heat of formation of BaSO₄(s) = -349 kcal/mol]
-128.5
-133.0
+133.0
+220.5
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Using the equation: ΔHf(Ba²⁺) = ΔHf(BaSO₄) - ΔHf(SO₄²⁻) - ΔHcryst(BaSO₄), we find ΔHf(Ba²⁺) = -³⁴⁹⁻ (-216) - (-4.5) = -133.0 kcal/mol.
