Acetic acid is a weak acid while HCl or H2SO4 are both strong acids. Being strong acids, the heat given off during neutralization is much greater.

Is heat of neutralization same for every acid-base pair?

No, the heat of neutralization can vary for different acid-base pairs due to differences in the strength of the acids and bases involved. Stronger acids and bases typically release more heat during neutralization compared to weaker acids and bases.


Does the heat of neutralization reaction depend on the number of hydrogen atoms in a molecule of acid?

No. The rate of the neutralization reaction is concentration dependent, but the "heat of neutralization" is defined on a molar basis already, so it is not.


What is the heat of neutralization of nitric acid?

The heat of neutralization of nitric acid refers to the amount of heat released when one mole of nitric acid is neutralized by a base to form water and a salt. For strong acids like nitric acid, the heat of neutralization is typically around -57.3 kJ/mol.


What is the type of bacteria that uses heat and acid for energy?

acetic acid


What happens when sodium hydroxide is added to acetic acid?

When sodium hydroxide is added to acetic acid, a neutralization reaction occurs, resulting in the formation of sodium acetate and water. This reaction also releases heat. Additionally, the resulting solution will be basic due to the presence of excess hydroxide ions.


Define the heat of neutralization?

Heat of neutralization describes one of the effects of mixing a base with an equally strong acid. This neutralizes the substance, which changes the substance's heat as a result.


How much heat (in kilocalories) is required to melt 1.95mol of solid acetic acid?

The heat of fusion for acetic acid is 20.5 kcal/mol. Therefore, the amount of heat required to melt 1.95 mol of solid acetic acid would be 1.95 mol x 20.5 kcal/mol = 40 kcal.


Is it true that when adding an acid to an alkali makes pH number go up?

A neutralization process take place.It emmits energy as heat,so temperature increase.Answer:Neutralization is often exothermic (produces heat) A typical example is is the mixing of sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid. However endothermic neutralization reactions (the reaction cools the solution) do happen. A simple example is the mixing of baking soda and acetic acid.


Is heat required to give reaction of acetic acid and sodium carbonate?

No


Is neutralization endothermic or exothermic?

Acid (and base) neutralization are exotherm reactions


How is the neutralisation reaction of ammonia and nitric acid different from most neutralisation reactions?

The neutralization reaction between ammonia and nitric acid is different because it forms an ammonium nitrate salt instead of water like most neutralization reactions. In this reaction, ammonia reacts with nitric acid to form ammonium nitrate with the release of heat. This type of neutralization reaction is more commonly seen in reactions involving ammonia and a strong acid.


Does vinegar separate from water?

neutralization, or neutralisation (see spelling differences) is a chemical reaction whereby an acid and a base react to form water and a salt. In an aqueous solution, solvated hydrogen ions (hydronium ions, H3O+) react with hydroxide ions (OH-) formed from the alkali to make two molecules of water. A salt is also formed. In non-aqueous reactions, water is not always formed; however, there is always a donation of protons (see Brønsted-Lowry acid-base theory). Often, neutralization reactions are exothermic, giving out heat to the surroundings (the enthalpy of neutralization). An example of anendothermic neutralization is the reaction between sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and any weak acid, for example acetic acid (vinegar).
