(d) Heterogeneous system only

29. Which of the following statements is incorrect?

(a) Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness.

(b) First law of thermodynamics does not guide us about the direction of chemical reactions

(c) Variables like p, V, T are called state variables or state functions.

(d) The state of the surroundings can always be completely specified.

28. Reaction spontaneous at all temperatures when:

(a) Δ_rH^? is negative, Δ_rS^? positive, Δ_rG^? is negative.

(b) Δ_rH^? is positive, Δ_rS^? positive, Δ_rG^? is negative.

(c) Δ_rH^? is negative, Δ_rS^? positive, Δ_rG^? is positive.

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.

26. Assertion: When temperature of a crystalline solid is increased, the degree of randomness of its constituents increases.

Reason:The entropy of any pure crystalline substance approaches zero as the temperature approaches absolute zero.
