Answer: The chemical equation for the combustion reaction is:

                        CH4 (g) + 2O2 (g) →CO2 (g) + 2H2O (l)

Δng= 1 – 3 = -2

ΔH= ΔU + ΔngRT = ΔU- 2RT

Therefore, ΔH<ΔU

i.e. option (iii) is correct.

6.5. The enthalpy of combustion of methane, graphite and dihydrogen at 298 K are -890.3 KJ mol-1, – 393.5 KJ mol-1 and – 285.8 KJ mol-1 respectively. Enthalpy of formation of CH4(g) will be
(i) – 74.8 KJ mol-1                                         (ii) – 52.27 KJ mol-1
(iii) + 74.8 KJ mol-1                                 (iv) + 52.26 KJ mol-1

38. Since, there is an increase in the number of moles on the product side so, entropy increases and ?S is positive.

Q:  

19. For the reaction 2 A(g) + B(g) → 2D(g)

ΔU° = – 10.5 kJ and ΔS? = – 44.1 JK–1.

Calculate ΔG? for the reaction, and predict whether the reaction may occur spontaneously.           

Read more
A: 

19. ΔH° = ΔU° + Δng RT

ΔU° = -10.5 kJ, Δng = 2-3 = -1 mol, R = 8.314 x 10-3 kJ mol-1, T = 298 K

ΔH° = (- 10.5 kJ) + [ (- 1 mol) x (8.314 x 10-3 kJ mol-1) x (298 K)]

       = -10.5 kJ – 2.478 kJ

       = -12.978 kJ

According to Gibbs Helmholtz equation:

ΔG° = ΔH° - TΔS°

        = (- 12.978 kJ) – (298 K) x (- 0.0441 kJ K-1)

        = -12.978 + 13.142

        = 0.164 kJ

Since the value of ΔG° is positive, the reaction is non-spontaneous.

Q:  

25. Assertion: Entropy decreases when a liquid crystallizes into solid.

Reason: Molecules tend to be in a less ordered state.

Read more
A: 

25.  (c) When a liquid crystallizes into solid or after freezing, the molecules attain an ordered state and therefore, entropy decreases.

Q:  

4. ΔUof combustion of methane is – X kJ mol–1. The value of ΔH? is

(i) = ΔU?

(ii) > ΔU?

(iii) < ΔU?

(iv) = 0      

Read more
A: 

4.The chemical equation for the combustion reaction is:

CH4  (g) + 2O2  (g) →CO2  (g) + 2H2O (l)

Δng= 1 – 3 = -2

ΔH? = ΔU?  + ΔngRT = ΔU? - 2RT

Therefore, ΔH?  <ΔU?

i.e. option (iii) is correct.

Q:  

39. What are extensive and intensive properties?

A: 

39. In thermodynamics, a distinction is made between extensive properties and intensive properties. An extensive property is a property whose value depends on the

quantity or size of matter present in the system. For example, mass, volume, internal energy, enthalpy, heat capacity, etc. are extensive properties.

Those properties which do not depend on the quantity or size of matter present are known as intensive properties. For example, temperature, density, pressure etc. are intensive properties.

(iii) 2H2? +O2?2H2? O  ΔH3? =2× (−285.8)kJmol−1

Required reaction is

C+2H2? CH4 (g)? ; ΔHf? =?
From equations (ii)- (i)+ (iii)

ΔHf= (−393.5) + 890.3 + 2 (−285.8)

A: 

16. Change in internal energy (? U) for an isolated system is zero for it does not exchange any energy with the surroundings. But entropy tends to increase in case of spontaneous reaction. Therefore? S > 0 or positive.

Q:  

17. For the reaction at 298 K, 2A + B → C

ΔH = 400 kJ mol–1 and ΔS = 0.2 kJ K–1 mol–1

At what temperature will the reaction become spontaneous considering ΔH and ΔS to be constant over the temperature range?             

Read more
A: 

17. As per the Gibbs Helmholtz’s equation:

ΔG = Δ H - TΔ S

For ΔG=0; 

ΔH=TΔS

Or  T=ΔH/ΔS

T = (400 KJ mol-1)/ (0.2 KJ K-1 mol-1)

= 2000 k

Thus, reaction will be in a state of equilibrium at 2000 K and will be spontaneous above this temperature

Q:  

18. For the reaction; 2Cl (g) → Cl(g); what will be the signs of ?H and ?S?

A: 

18. ? H: negative (-ve) because energy is released in bond formation

? S: negative (-ve) because entropy decreases when atoms combine to form molecules.

Q:  

24. Assertion: In an exothermic reaction, heat is evolved, and system gains heat from the surroundings.

Reason: qp and ΔrH will also be negative.

A: 

24.  (d) In an exothermic reaction, heat is evolved, and system loses heat to the surroundings. Therefore, qp will be negative and ΔrH will also be negative. Similarly in an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed, qp is positive and ΔrH will be positive.

Q:  

27. Assertion: It requires less heat to vaporise 1 mol of acetone than it does to vaporize 1 mol of water.

Reason: For an organic liquid, such as acetone, the intermolecular dipole-dipole interactions are significantly weaker.

A: 

27.  (a) The magnitude of the enthalpy change depends on the strength of the intermolecular interactions in the substance undergoing the phase transformations. For example, the strong hydrogen bonds between water molecules hold them tightly in liquid phase. For an organic liquid, such as acetone, the intermolecular dipole-dipole interactions are significantly weaker. Thus, it requires less heat to vaporise 1 mol of acetone than it does to vaporize 1 mol of water.

Q:  

37. State Hess’s law.

A: 

37. Hess law states that “If a reaction takes place in several steps then its standard reaction enthalpy is the sum of the standard enthalpies of the intermediate reactions into which the overall reaction may be divided at the same temperature.”

Or it can be stated as “The change of enthalpy of a reaction remains same whether the reaction is carried out in one step or several steps.”
                                                 ?H = ?H1 + ?H2 + ?H3……………

Q:  

41.  Define standard enthalpy of Vapourization.

A: 

41. Amount of heat required to vapourize one mole of a liquid at constant temperature and under standard pressure (1bar) is called its standard enthalpy of vapourization or molar enthalpy of vapourization, ΔvapH?.

Q:  

42. What is Gibbs Helmholtz equation?

A: 

42. ?G = ?H – T?S

Where ?G = free energy change.

?H = enthalpy change.

?S = entropy change.
