Solution:

(i)
(ii)
(iii)
We know
(iv) = -57-4 kJ
To get (iii) add (i) and (ii) and subtract (iv).
(Please note that salts formed in case (i) and (ii) are almost completely ionised. Also suppose that the salt formed in case (iii) is also ionised).
H = (- 51.4) + (-50.6) - (-57.4) kJ
= _ 51.4 - 50.6 + 57.4 = -44.6 kJ
