When 100 mL of 1.0 M HCl was mixed 100 mL of 1.0 M NaOH in an insulated beaker at constant pressure, a temperature increase `5.7^(@)C` was measured for the beaker and its contents (Expt. 1). Because the enthalpy of neutralization of a strong acid with a strong base is a constant `(-57.0 kJmol^(-1))`, this experiment could be used to measure the calorimeter constant. In a second experiment (Expt.2) 100 mL of 2.0 M acetic acid `(K_(a)=2.0xx10^(-5))` was mixed with 100 mL of 1.0 M NaOH (under indentical conditions to Expt. 1) where a temperature rise of `5.6^(@)C` was measured (Consider heat capacity of all solutions as `4.2 Jg^(-1)K^(-1)` and density of al solutions as 1.0 gm`L^(-1)`) The pH of the solution after Expt. 2 isA. `2.8`B. `4.7`C. `5.0`D. `7.0`

Final solution contain 0.1 mole of `CH_(3)COOH` and `CH_(3)COONa` each
Hence it is buffer solution
`pH=pK_(a)+log.([CH_(3)COO^(-)])/([CH_(3)COOH])=5-log2+log.(0.1)/(0.1)=4.7`
6.

When 100 mL of 1.0 M HCl was mixed 100 mL of 1.0 M NaOH in an insulated beaker at constant pressure, a temperature increase `5.7^(@)C` was measured for the beaker and its contents (Expt. 1). Because the enthalpy of neutralization of a strong acid with a strong base is a constant `(-57.0 kJmol^(-1))`, this experiment could be used to measure the calorimeter constant. In a second experiment (Expt.2) 100 mL of 2.0 M acetic acid `(K_(a)=2.0xx10^(-5))` was mixed with 100 mL of 1.0 M NaOH (under indentical conditions to Expt. 1) where a temperature rise of `5.6^(@)C` was measured (Consider heat capacity of all solutions as `4.2 Jg^(-1)K^(-1)` and density of al solutions as 1.0 gm`L^(-1)`) Enthalpy of dissociation (in `KJmol^(-1)`) of acetic acid obtained from the Expt.2 isA. `1.0`B. `10.0`C. `24.5`D. `51.4`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Let the heat capacity of insulated beaker be C
Mass of aqueous content in expt.
`1=(100+100)xx1=200g`
implies Total heat capacity = `(C+200xx4.2)J//K`
Moles of acid, base neutralised in expt. `1=0.1xx1=0.1`
implies Heat released in expt. `1=0.1xx57=5.7 KJ`
`implies5.7xx1000=(C+200xx4.2)xxDeltaT`
`5.7xx1000=(C+200xx4.2)xx5.7`
`implies (C+200xx4.2)=1000`
In second experiment,
`n_(CH_(3)COOH)=0.2, n_(NaOH)=0.1`
Total mass of aqueous content = 200 g
implies Total heat capacity = (C+200`xx`4.2)=1000
implies Heat released = `1000xx5.6=5600 J`
Overall, only 0.1 mol of `CH_(3)COOH` undergo neutralization
`implies DeltaH_("neutralization")" of "CH_(3)COOH=(-5600)/(0.1)`
`=-56000 J//mol=-56 KJ//mol`
`impliesDeltaH_("ionization")" of "CH_(3)COOH=57-56=1KJ//mol`

In a constant volume calorimeter, 3.5g of a gas with molecular weight 28 was burnt in excess oxygen at 298.0 K. The temperature of the calorimeter was found to increase from 298.0K to 298.45 K due to the combustion of the gas in kJ `mol^(-1)` is

Answer» Correct Answer - 9
`n=(3.5)/(28)`
`DeltaT=T_(2)-T_(1)=298.45-298=0.45`
`C_(P)=C_(V)+R=2500+8.314=2508.314 JK^(-1)`
`Q_(P)=C_(P)DeltaT=1128.74 J`
`DeltaH=(Q_(P))/(n)=(1128.74)/(3.5//28)`
implies 9030 J `mol^(-1)`=9.030 kJ `mol^(-1)` = 9 kJ `mol^(-1)`.
8.

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Mili-equivalent of HCl = `500xx0.1`
=50 milli-moles = 0.05 moles
Milli-equivalent of NaOH= `200xx0.2`
= 40 milli-moles = 0.04 moles
When 1 mole of `H^(+)` ions and 1 mole of `OH^(-)` ions are neutralized, 1 mole of water is formed and 57.1 kJ of energy is released.
0.04 moles of `H^(+)` ions react with 0.04 moles of `OH^(-)` ions to form 0.04 moles of water molecules. Heat evolved = `0.04xx57.1=2.29 kJ`.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`S+O_(2)rarrSO_(2), DeltaH_(f)=-4.6 kJ`
`because` 0.5 gm of sulphur on burning produce 1 gm of `SO_(2)`
`therefore` 32 gm of sulphur on burning produce 64 gm of `SO_(2)`
`therefore DeltaH=(-4.6 kJ)xx64=-294.4 kJ`
11.

Answer» Correct Answer - D
For complete neutralization of strong acid and strong base energy released is 57.32 KJ/mol
No. of mole of `H_(2)SO_(4)=(0.2xx50)/(1000)=10^(2)`
No. of mole of KOH = `(1)/(1000)xx50=5xx10^(-2)`
`"So = "57.32xx10^(-2)=0.5732 kJ = 573.2" Joule"`.

If the bond energies of H - H, Br - Br and HBr are 433, 192 and 364 kJ `mol^(-1)` respectively, the `DeltaH^(@)` for the reaction, `H_(2)(g)+Br_(2)(g)rarr2HBr(g)` isA. `+ 261` kJB. `- 103` kJC. `- 261` kJD. `+ 103` kJ

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`H-H+Br-Brrarr2H-Br`
`{:(433+192,2xx364),(625,728):}`
Energy absorbed = Energy released
Not energy released = 728-625=103 kJ
i.e., = `DeltaH=-103 kJ`.

The enthalpy of formation of ammonia is `-46.0 kJ mol^(-1)`. The enthalpy change for the reaction `2NH_(3)(g)rarr2N_(2)(g)+3H_(2)(g)` isA. 46.0 kJ `mol^(-1)`B. `92.0 kJ mol^(-1)`C. `-23.0 kJ mol^(-1)`D. `-92.0 kJ mol^(-1)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
46.

The enthalpy change `(DeltaH)` for the reaction, `N_(2)(g) + 3H_(2)(g) rarr 2NH_(3)(g) " is "-92.38 kJ` at 298 K. The internal energy change `DeltaU` at 298 K isA. `-92.38 kJ`B. `-87.42 kJ`C. `-97.34 kJ`D. `-89.9 kJ`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`DeltaH=DeltaU+Deltan_(g)RT`
`Deltan_(g)=-2`.

For a given reaction, `DeltaH=35.5 kJ mol^(-1)` and `DeltaS=83.6 JK^(-1) mol^(-1)`. The reaction is spontaneous at : (Assume that `DeltaH` and `DeltaS` do not very with temperature)A. `T gt 425 K`B. All temperaturesC. `T gt 298 K`D. `T lt 425 K`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`DeltaG=DeltaH-TDeltaS`
for equilibrium `DeltaG=0`
`DeltaH-TDeltaS`
`T_(eq).=(DeltaH)/(DeltaS)=(35.5xx1000)/(83.6)=425 K`
Since the reaction is endothermic it will be spontaneous at `T gt 425 K`.
48.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
49.

A system is changed from state A to state B by one path and from B to A another path. If `E_(1)` and `E_(2)` are the corresponding changes in internal energy, thenA. `E_(1)+E_(2)=-ve`B. `E_(1)+E_(2)=+ve`C. `E_(1)+E_(2)=0`D. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`DeltaE=0` for a cyclic process.
