The standard molar entropy of H20 (1) is 70 J K-1 mol-1. The solid form of H20 is ice. In ice, molecules of H20 are less random than in liquid water. Thus, molar entropy of H20 (s) < molar entropy of H20 (1). The standard molar entropy of H20 (s) is less than 70 J K-1 mol-1.

During cyclic process, change in internal energy is zero.
ΔU = 0
and no work is said to be done, as system returns to the initial state.
For a steady state cyclic process at any given stage enthalpy is one single value however, at different stage it would vary.
ΔH = 0

ΔrG° = -RT ln Kp
= -RT ln (0.98)
Since In (0.98) is negative
.'. ΔrG° is positive the reaction is non spontaneous

Heat has a randomising influence on a system and temperature is the measure of average chaotic motion of particles in the system. The mathematical relation which relates these three parameters is? S = qrev/ T
Here? S = change in entropy ^
qrcv = heat of reversible reaction '
T = temperature

It is a spontaneous process. Although enthalpy change is zero, randomness or disorder (ΔS) increases and ΔS is positive. Therefore, in the equation, ΔG = ΔH – TΔS, the term TΔS will be negative. Hence ΔG will be negative.

In order to calculate the lattice enthalpy of NaBr,
(i) Na (s) →Na (g) ; ΔsubH? =108.4 kJ/mol
(ii) Na→Na+ + e- ΔiH? = 496kJ/ mol
(iii) Br→ Br, Δdiss H? = 96kJ/ mol
(iv) Br+e-Br- ΔegH? = - 325 kJmol-1
? fH? =? subH? + Δdiss H + Δi H? + Δi H? + Δeg H? +? lattice H?
= -360.1 -108.4-96-496+325 = -735.5KJ/ mol

The reaction presented in the question is
CH4 (g)→C (g) + 4H (g)
Now, ΔaH = 1665 kJ/mol
The mean bond enthalpy of the C-H bond should be used here. For the atomisation of 4 moles of C-H bonds, the value is 1665 kJ/mol. So, per mole energy = 1665/4 = 416.2 kJ / mol

According to Hess's law, ΔrH = ΔrH1+ ΔrH2+ΔrH3
This is so because during the reaction A→ B, B's formation undergoes various intermediate reactions, with the overall value of the enthalpy being ΔrH.
