ENTHALPY OF SOLUTION
1. Heat at neutralization : The quantity of heat evolved when one gram equivalent of an acid is completely
neutralised by one gram equivalent of a base in dilute solution.
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq)  NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) H = –13.7 kcal
The heat of neutralisation of a strong acid and a strong base is 13.7 kcal on the basis of electrolytic
dissociation theory it has been clearly explain that this heat of neutralisation is merely the heat of
formation of water from H+ ion of an acid and OH– ion of a base
H+(aq) + OH–(aq)  H2O(l) H = –13.7 kcal
The heat of neutralisation in case of weak acid or weak base is some what less than 13.7 kcal because
some heat is used up to dissociate the weak electrolyte. The difference in values is called the dissociation
energy of weak acid or weak base.
2. Heat of solution : The enthalpy change when one mole of the solute is dissolved completely in a large
excess of water so that further dilution of solution does not produce any heat change.
KCl(s) + H2O  KCl(aq) H = +44.0 kcal
HCl(g) + H2O  HCl(aq) H = –39.3 kcal

PREPARATION OF LYOPHILIC AND LYOPHOBIC SOLS

Preparation of lyophilic sols : Substances which are termed as intrinsic colloids such as gelatin, rubber,
starch etc. are converted into colloidal solution when warmed with water or some other suitable solvent. The colloidal
solution thus obtained are called lyophilic sols. Such sols are reversible and quite stable.
Preparation of lyophobic sols : Substances which are termed as extrinsic colloids such as metals etc. do
not pass directly into colloidal solution when treated when water or another solvent. Such substances are converted
into colloidal solution by the following two methods.

(b) Dispersion method : In this method large particles of the substance are broken into particles of colloidal
dimension in the presence of dispersion medium.
(1) Mechanical dispersion : The coarse particles of the substance to be dispersed are agitated with
dispersion medium. The suspension is then passed through a colloidal mill.
(2) Electrical disintegration method (Bredig’s arc method) : Colloidal solution of metals like gold,
silver etc. are obtained by electro disintegration method. In this method electric arc is struck between
of metals immersed in the dispersion medium.
(3) Peptization : The process which involves the conversion of precipitates into colloidal solution is
called peptization. The electrolyte added is called peptizing agent.

to crystallisation point and then keep it aside for cooling, a green crystal of ferrous ammonium sulphate

SOME TYPICAL REDOX TITRATIONS

(1) Titration of oxalic acid against KMnO4 : Oxalic acid (COOH)2 · 2H2O is titrated against KMnO4 in the
presence of dilute H2SO4 keeping the temperature of oxalic acid solution between 60 – 70°C. Oxalic acid
on oxidation with acidified KMnO4 produces CO2 according to the reaction.
2MnO 4  5C 2O 24  16H  2Mn2  10CO 2  8H2 O

2 mol 5 mol
The solution is kept hot to expel CO2 produced so as to avoid back reaction.
The stoichiometric ratio in this titration is evidently (2/5).
Suppose 20 ml of oxalic acid solution require 25 ml of 0.05 M KMnO4 solution for titration then the
25  0.05  5
concentration of oxalic acid solution   0.156 M accordingly the amount of oxalic acid (mole
20  2
wt 126) would be 0.156 × 126 = 19.656 g L–1.
(2) Titration of Mohr salt against KMnO4 : Mohr salt FeSO4 · (NH4)2SO4 · 6H2O is titrated against KMnO4
in presence of dilute sulphuric acid when FeSO4 of the Mohr salt is oxidised to Fe2(SO)3. KMnO4 solution
is added to a known volume at Mohr salt solution containing dilute H2SO4 gradually in small amounts.
Rapid addition of KMnO4 results in the formation of hydrated MnO2 · H2O which is brown in colour
2KMnO 4  3MnSO 4  7H2O  K 2SO 4  5MnO 2  H2O  2H2SO 4

brown ppt
The above reaction also occurs if there is insufficient quantity of H2SO4 in the titration solution.
In these titrations KMnO4 itself acts as the indictor
(133)

Suppose 25 mL of Mohr salt solution requires15.5 mL of 0.1 M KMnO4 for titration. Applying the volumetric
correlation we have
15.5 × 0.1 = ( 25 × conc of Mohr salt) × Stoichiometric ratio
The redox reaction in the titration is
