The enthalpy of combustion of $${H_2},$$ cyclohexene $$\left( {{C_6}{H_{10}}} \right)$$ and cyclohexane $$\left( {{C_6}{H_{12}}} \right)$$ are $$-241, -3800$$ and $$-3920$$ $$kJ$$ per $$mol$$ respectively. Heat of hydrogenation of cyclohexene is
102.
Among the following, the set of parameters that represents path functions, is :
$$\eqalign{
& \left( {\text{i}} \right)q + w \cr
& \left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)q \cr
& \left( {{\text{iii}}} \right)w \cr
& \left( {{\text{iv}}} \right)H - TS \cr} $$
A
(ii) and (iii)
B
(ii), (iii) and (iv)
C
(i) and (iv)
D
(i), (ii) and (iii)
Answer :
(ii) and (iii)
We know that heat and work are not state functions but $$q + w = \Delta U$$ is a state function. $$H - TS$$ ( i.e. $$G $$ ) is also a state function.
103.
If for a given substance melting point is $${T_B}$$ and freezing point is $${T_A},$$ then correct variation shown by, graph between entropy change and
temperature is
A
B
C
D
Answer :
For a pure substance $${T_A}$$ and $${T_B}$$ represent the same temperature. Hence A is a correct choice.
104.
What will be the enthalpy of combustion of carbon to produce carbon monoxide on the basis of data given below ?
$$\eqalign{
& {C_{\left( s \right)}} + {O_{2\left( g \right)}} \to C{O_{2\left( g \right)}} - 393.4\,kJ \cr
& C{O_{\left( g \right)}} + \frac{1}{2}{O_{2\left( g \right)}} \to C{O_{2\left( g \right)}} - 283.0\,kJ \cr} $$
A
$$ + 676.4\,kJ$$
B
$$ - 676.4\,kJ$$
C
$$ - 110.4\,kJ$$
D
$$ + 110.4\,kJ$$
Answer :
$$ - 110.4\,kJ$$
$$\eqalign{
& C + \frac{1}{2}{O_2} \to CO\,\,\,{\text{is obtained by (i) - (ii)}}{\text{.}} \cr
& \Delta H = - 393.4 - \left( { - 283.0} \right) = - 110.4\,kJ \cr} $$
105.
The work done during the expansion of a gas from a volume of $$4\,d{m^3}$$ to $$6\,d{m^3}$$ against a constant external pressure of $$3\,atm,$$ is
106.
For the reaction given below the values of standard Gibbs free energy of formation at $$298\,K$$ are given. What is the nature of the reaction ?
$${I_2} + {H_2}S \to 2HI + S$$
$$\Delta G_f^ \circ \left( {HI} \right) = 1.8\,kJ\,mo{l^{ - 1}},$$ $$\Delta G_f^ \circ \left( {{H_2}S} \right) = 33.8\,kJ\,mo{l^{ - 1}}$$
A
Non-spontaneous in forward direction.
B
Spontaneous in forward direction.
C
Spontaneous in backward direction.
D
Non-spontaneous in both forward and backward directions.
107.
For the reaction of one mole of zinc dust with one $$mole$$ of sulphuric acid in a bomb calorimeter, $$\Delta U$$ and $$w$$ correspond to
A
$$\Delta U < 0,w = 0$$
B
$$\Delta U < 0,w < 0$$
C
$$\Delta U > 0,w = 0$$
D
$$\Delta U > 0,w > 0$$
Answer :
$$\Delta U < 0,w = 0$$
Bomb calorimeter commonly used to find the heat of combustion of organic substances, consists of a sealed combustion chamber, called a bomb. The reaction in a bomb calorimeter proceeds at constant volume so, $$w = 0$$ and $$\Delta U = q.$$
$$Zn + {H_2}S{O_4} \to ZnS{O_4} + {H_2}$$
This reaction is exothermic. So some heat will be evolved which will result in lowering of internal energy.
Hence, $$\Delta U < 0,w = 0.$$
108.
A chemical reaction will be spontaneous if it is accompanied by a decrease in
A
entropy of the system
B
enthalpy of the system
C
internal energy of the system
D
free energy of the system
Answer :
free energy of the system
Gibbs free energy of a system will decide the spontaneity of a process. If $$\Delta G$$ is negative, then the process is spontaneous.
109.
Equal volumes of methanoic acid and sodium hydroxide are mixed. If $$x$$ is the heat of formation of water, then heat evolved on neutralization is
A
more than $$x$$
B
equal to $$x$$
C
less than $$x$$
D
twice $$x$$
Answer :
less than $$x$$
Neutralisation of weak acid with strong base hence $$< x.$$ Extra heat is utilised to effect the ionisation of weak acid.
110.
For which one of the processes represented by the following equations the enthalpy (heat) change is likely to be negative
A
$$C{l^ - }\left( g \right) + aq \to C{l^ - }\left( {aq} \right)$$
B
$$Cl\left( g \right) \to C{l^ + }\left( g \right) + {e^ - }$$
C
$$\frac{1}{2}C{l_2}\left( g \right) \to Cl\left( g \right)$$
D
$$C{l_2}\left( l \right) \to C{l_2}\left( g \right)$$
Answer :
$$C{l^ - }\left( g \right) + aq \to C{l^ - }\left( {aq} \right)$$
Gaseous ions, when dissolved in water, get hydrated and heat is evolved ( heat of
hydration ).
$$C{l^ - }\left( g \right) + aq \to C{l^ - }\left( {aq} \right)$$ is such reaction
