A fixed mass $$'m'$$ of a gas is subjected to transformation
of states from $$K$$ to $$L$$ to $$M$$ to $$N$$ and back to $$K$$ as shown in the figure :
The pair of isochoric processes among the transformation of states is
A
$$K$$ to $$L$$ and $$L$$ to $$M$$
B
$$L$$ to $$M$$ and $$N$$ to $$K$$
C
$$L$$ to $$M$$ and $$M$$ to $$N$$
D
$$M$$ to $$N$$ and $$N$$ to $$K$$
Answer :
$$L$$ to $$M$$ and $$N$$ to $$K$$
In isochoric process, volume is constant.

Enthalpy of the reaction, $$C{H_4} + \frac{1}{2}{O_2} \to C{H_3}OH,$$ is negative. If enthalpy of combustion of $$C{H_4}$$ and $$C{H_3}OH$$ are $$x$$ and $$y$$ respectively, then which relation is correct?
A
$$x > y$$
B
$$x < y$$
C
$$x = y$$
D
$$x \geqslant y$$
Answer :
$$x < y$$
$$C{H_4}\left( g \right) + \frac{1}{2}{O_2}\left( g \right) \to C{H_3}OH\left( l \right)$$
$$\therefore \,\,\Delta H = - \left[ {\left( {\Delta {H_c}\,{\text{of}}\,C{H_3}OH} \right) - } \right.$$ $$\left. {\left( {\Delta {H_c}\,{\text{of}}\,C{H_4}} \right)} \right]$$
$$\eqalign{
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = - \left[ {\left( { - y} \right) - \left( { - x} \right)} \right] \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = - \left[ { - y + x} \right] \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = y - x \cr
& \therefore \,\,x < y \cr} $$

The given enthalpy diagram represents which of the following reactions ?
A
Enthalpy diagram for endothermic reaction
B
Enthalpy diagram for exothermic reaction
C
Enthalpy diagram for reversible reaction
D
Enthalpy diagram for non-spontaneous reaction
Answer :
Enthalpy diagram for exothermic reaction
For exothermic reactions, $${H_R} > {H_P},$$ hence $$\Delta H$$ is negative.

One mole of a non-ideal gas undergoes a change of state ( $${2.0\,atm,\,3.0L,\,95\left( K \right)}$$ → ( $${4.0\,atm,\,5.0L,\,245K}$$ ) with a change in internal energy, $$\Delta U = 30.0\,L\,atm\,.$$ The change in enthalpy $$\left( {\Delta H} \right)$$ of the process in $$L$$ atm is

Standard enthalpy and standard entropy changes for the oxidation of ammonia at $$298\,K$$ are $$ - 382.64\,kJ\,mo{l^{ - 1}}$$ and $$ - 45.6\,J{K^{ - 1}}\,mo{l^{ - 1}},$$ respectively. Standard Gibb's energy change for the same reaction at $$298\,K$$ is
236.
Consider the $$\Delta G_f^ \circ $$ and $$\Delta H_f^ \circ \left( {kJ/mol} \right)$$ for the following oxides. Which oxide can be most easily decomposed to form the metal and oxygen gas?
237.
What will be the amount of heat evolved by burning $$10\,L$$ of methane under standard conditions ?
( Given heats of formation of $$C{H_4},C{O_2}$$ and $${H_2}O$$ are $$ - 76.2, - 398.8$$ and $$ - 241.6\,kJ\,mo{l^{ - 1}}$$ respectively. )
238.
In an endothermic reaction, the value of $$\Delta H$$ is
A
zero
B
positive
C
negative
D
constant
Answer :
positive
For endothermic reactions standard heat of reaction $$\left( {\Delta H} \right)$$ is positive because in these reactions total energy of reactants is lower than that of products, i.e. $${E_R} < {E_P}$$
So, $$\Delta H = {E_P} - {E_R} = + ve$$

Standard Gibb’s free energy change for isomerization reaction $$cis{\text{ - }}2{\text{ - pentene}} \rightleftharpoons trans{\text{ - }}2{\text{ - pentene}}$$ is $$ - 3.67\,kJ/mol$$ at $$400\,K.$$ If more $$trans{\text{ - }}2{\text{ - pentene}}$$ is added to the reaction vessel, then
A
more $$cis{\text{ - }}2{\text{ - pentene}}$$ is formed
B
equilibrium remains unaffected
C
additional $$trans{\text{ - }}2{\text{ - pentene}}$$ is formed
D
equilibrium is shifted in forward direction
Answer :
more $$cis{\text{ - }}2{\text{ - pentene}}$$ is formed
If more $$trans{\text{ - }}2{\text{ - pentene}}$$ is added, then its concentration in right hand side will increase. But in order to maintain the $$K$$ constant, concentration of $$cis{\text{ - }}2{\text{ - pentene}}$$ will also increase. Therefore more $$cis{\text{ - }}2{\text{ - pentene}}$$ will be formed.

For combustion of $$1\,mole$$ of benzene at $$25{\,^ \circ }C,$$ the heat of reaction at constant pressure is $$ - 780.9\,kcal.$$ What will be the heat of reaction at constant volume ?
