Assertion (A): Among isomeric pentanes, 2, 2-dimethylpentane has highest boiling point. 

Reason (R): Branching does not affect the boiling point. 

(i) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A. 

(ii) Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A. 

(iii) Both A and R are not correct. 

(iv) A is not correct but R is correct.

The entropy change can be calculated by using the expression ∆S = . When water freezes in a glass beaker, choose the correct statement amongst the following:

(i) ∆S (system) decreases, but ∆S (surroundings) remains the same.

(ii) ∆S (system) increases, but ∆S (surroundings) decreases.

(iii) ∆S (system) decreases, but ∆S (surroundings) increases.

(iv) ∆S (system) decreases, and ∆S (surroundings) also decreases.

Assertion (A): Nitration of benzene with nitric acid requires the use of concentrated sulphuric acid. 

Reason (R): The mixture of concentrated sulphuric acid and concentrated nitric acid produces the electrophile, NO₂ ⁺. 

(i) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A. 

(ii) Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A. 

(iii) Both A and R are not correct. 

(iv) A is not correct but R is correct.

The pressure volume work for an ideal gas can be calculated by using the expression w = - ${\int }_{{\mathit{V}}_{\mathit{i}}}^{{\mathbf{V}}_{\mathbf{f}}}{\mathit{P}}_{\mathit{e}\mathit{x}}$ dv. The work can also be calculated from the pV−plot by using the area under the curve within the specified limits. When an ideal gas is compressed (a) reversibly or (b) irreversibly from volume Vi to Vf. Choose the correct option.

(i) w (reversible) = w (irreversible)

(ii) w (reversible) < w (irreversible)

(iii) w (reversible) > w (irreversible)

(iv) w (reversible) = w (irreversible) + p_ex.?V

In an adiabatic process, no transfer of heat takes place between system and surroundings. Choose the correct option for free expansion of an ideal gas under adiabatic condition from the following.

(i) q = 0, ∆T ≠ 0, w = 0

(ii) q ≠ 0, ∆T = 0, w = 0

(iii) q = 0, ∆T = 0, w = 0

(iv) q = 0, ∆T < 0, w 0 V_f
