For the reaction `A rarr B,DeltaH = + 24 kJ //`mole For the reaction `B rarrC , DeltaH= -18 kJ `// mole . The decreasing order of enthalpy of A,B,C follows the order `:`A. A,B,CB. B,C,AC. C,B,AD. C,A,B

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`A rarr B, Delta H = +ve` means that `H (A) lt H(B)`
`B rarr C, DeltaH = -ve` means that `H(B) gt H(C ) ` or `H(C ) lt H(B)`
Adding the given equations,we get
`A rarrC, DeltaH = + 6 kJ mol^(-1)`. This means that `H(A) lt H(C )`
Combining the above results. `H(A) lt H (C ) lt H(B)` or `H( B) gt H( C) gt H(A)` . Hence, decreasing order of enthalpy is B,C,A.

For the reaction `2Cl(g) rarr Cl_(2)(g)`, what are the signs of `DeltaH` and `DeltaS`?

Answer» Correct Answer - `DeltaH` is negative (bond energy is released ) and `DeltaS` is negative (There is less randomness among the molecules than among the atoms )
`DeltaH and DeltaS` are negative
The given reaction represents the formation of chlorine molecule from chlorine atoms.
Here, bond formation is taking place. Therefore, energy is being released. Hence , `DeltaH` is negative.
Also, two moles of atoms have more randomness than one mole of a molecule. Since spontaneity is decreased , `DeltaS` is negative for the given reaction.

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`2K+L rarr 2M`
`Deltan_(g)=2-3=-1`
`DeltaH=DeltaU+Deltan_(g)RT=-10.5xx10^(3)+(-1xx8.314xx298)`
`=-10500+(-2477.572)=-12977.57J=-12.98kJ`
`DeltaG^(@)=DeltaH^(@)-TDeltaS^(@)=-12.98-298(-44.1xx10^(-3))`
`=-12.98+13.14=0.16kJ`
Since `DeltaG^(@)` is `+ve` hence it is non-spontaneous.

Answer» Correct Answer - `0.164 kJ,` the reaction is not spontaneous.
For the given reaction ,
`2A_((g))+B_((g))rarr2D_((g))`
`Deltan_(g)=2-(3)`
1-mole
Substituting the value of `Delta^(theta)` in the expression of `DeltaH:`
`DeltaH^(theta)=DeltaU^(theta)+Deltan_(g)RT`
`=(-10.5 kJ)-(-1)(8.314xx10^(-3)kJ K^(-1)"mol"^(-1))(298 K)`
`=-10.5kJ-2.48 kJ`
`DeltaH^(theta)=-12.98 kJ`
Subtituting the value of `DeltaH^(theta) and DeltaS^(theta)` in the expression of `DeltaG^(theta):`
`DeltaG^(theta)=DeltaH^(theta)-TDeltaS^(theta)`
`=-12.98 kJ -(298 K)(-44.1 j K^(-1))`
`=-12.98 kJ +13.14 kJ`
`DeltaG^(theta)=+0.16 kJ`
Since `DeltaG^(theta)` for the reaction is positive, the reaction will not occur spontaneously.
