NEET Chemistry Question (2025) — Solution

Question

The standard heat of formation, in kcal / mol ^ of Ba ^ 2+ is : [Given : standard heat of formation of SO _4^ 2- ion (aq) =-216 kcal / mol , Standard heat of crystallisation of BaSO _4( ~s )=-4.5 kcal / mol , standard heat of formation of . BaSO _4( ~s )=-349 kcal / mol ]

Options

  1. A. -128.5
  2. B. -133.0
  3. C. +133.0
  4. D. +220.5

Answer

A. -128.5

Step-by-step solution

aligned & H _ crys ( BaSO _4 )= H _ f ( BaSO _4 )- [ H _ f ( Ba ^ +2 )+ H _ f ( SO _4^ -2 ) ] \\ & -4.5=[-349]- [ H _ f ( Ba ^ +2 )+(-216) ] \\ & H _ f ( Ba ^ +2 )=-128.5 kCal ~mol ^ -1 aligned
