The enthalpy of neutralisation of NaOH with HCl is 57.1 kJ mol-1 while with CH3COOH, it is 56.1 kJ mol-1

This happens because:

  1. acetic acid is an organic acid
  2. acetic acid is little soluble in water
  3. acetic acid is a weak acid and requires lesser sodium hydroxide for neutralisation
  4. some heat is required to ionize acetic acid completely.

Answer

(D) some heat is required to ionize acetic acid completely.
