Explanation

Key Idea For spontaneous process G<0

G=H-TS

Given, H = 170 kJ = 170 x 103 J

           S = 170 JK-1

           T=?

         G=H-TS

 0<170 x103 - Tx170

          T>1000

... T=1110 K

Which of the following are not state functions?

(I) q + W                        (II) q

(III) W                           (IV) H-TS

Explanation

Key Idea: State function is the property of the system whose value depends only on the initial and final state of the system and is independent of the path.

... Internal energy (E) = q + W

It is a state function because it is independent of the path. It is an extensive property.

... Gibbs energy (G) = H-TS

It is also a state function because it is independent of the path. It is also an extensive property. Heat (q) and Work (W) are not state functions being path dependent.

Bond dissociation enthalpy of H2,Cl2 and HCl are 434,242 and 431kJ mol-1 respectively. Enthalpy of formation of HCl is

Explanation

Key idea:  ΔHreaction =  Σ Bond energy of reactant -  Σ Bond energy of the product

Here, ΔHH-H = 434 kJ mol-1

        ΔHCl-Cl = 242 kJ mol-1

        ΔHH-Cl = 431 kJ mol-1

        1/2H2=1/2Cl2  HCl

ΔHreaction = 1/2ΔHH-H + 1/2ΔHCl-Cl - ΔHH-Cl

               = (1/2)x434 = (1/2)x242-431

               =  217+121-431

               = -93 kJ mol-1

 

Consider the following reactions :

(i) H+(aq) + OH-(aq) = H2O(l) H = -x1kJ mol-1

(ii) H2(g) + 12O2(g) = H2O(l) H = -x2kJ mol-1

(iii) CO2(g) + H2(g) = CO(g) + H2O(l) H = -x3kJ mol-1

(iv) C2H5(g) + 52O2(g) = 2CO2(g) + H2O(l) H = -x4kJ mol-1

Enthalpy of formation of H2O(l) is:

Explanation

(a) Enthalpy of formation: The amount of heat evolved or absorbed during the formation of 1 mole of a compound from its constituent elements is known as the heat of formation. So, the correct answer is:

H2(g) + 12O2(g)           H2O(l), H=-x2kJmol-1

Given those bond energies of H-H and Cl-Cl are 430 kJ mol-1 and 240 kJ mol-1 respectively and ΔHf for HCI is -90 kJ mol-1. Bond enthalpy of HCl is:

Explanation

If the Gibbs free energy for a system ( Gsystem) is equal to zero, then the system is present in equilibrium at a constant temperature and pressure.

The enthalpy and entropy change for the reaction :

Br2(l)+Cl2(g)  2BrCl(g) are 30 kJ mol-1 and 105 JK-1 mol-1 respectively.

The temperature at which the reaction will be in equilibrium is :

Explanation

At equilibrium Gibbs free energy change (ΔG°) is equal to zero. The following thermodynamic relation is used to show the relation of ΔG° with enthalpy change (ΔH°) and entropy change(ΔS°)

ΔG° = ΔH°-TΔS

0 = 30 x 103 (J mol-1) - T x 105 (J K-1 mol-1)

T = 3X103/105 K= 285.71 K

Consider the reactionat 300K

H2(9) + Cl2(9) →2HCI(g), ΔH° = — 185 KJ

If 3 mole of H completely react with 3 mol of Cl2 to form Cl, U° of the reaction will be

Explanation

Δng=0, ΔH° = ΔU° = – 185 KJ

For 3 mole, ΔU° = 3 x (– 185) = – 555 KJ

One mole of an ideal monoatomic gas expands isothermally against constant external pressure of 1 atm from initial volume of 1L to a state where its final pressure becomes equal to external pressure. If initial temperature of gas is 300 K then total entropy change of system in the above process is :

[R = 0.082 L atm mol–1 K–1 = 8.3 J mo1–1K–1].
