Answer» Correct Answer - A
According to thermodynamics, we have
`Delta_(r) H^(@) = sum a_(i) Delta_(f) H^(@)` )product) `- sum b_(i) Delta_(g) H^(@)` (reactants
Applying this relation ship of first equation, we have
`Delta_(r) H^(@) = [Delta_(f) H^(@) (H^(+), aq.) + Delta_(f) H^(@) (OH^(-), aq.)] - Delta_(f) H^(@) (H_(2) O, 1)`
`57.32 = [0 + Delta_(f) H^(@) (OH^(-) , aq.)]- (286.20)`
`:. Delta_(f) H^(@) (OH^(-), aq.) = 57.32 - 286.20 = - 228.88 kJ`

On the basis of the following thermochemical data `:` `(Delta_(f)G^(@)H_((aq.))^(+)=0)` `H_(2)O_((l))rarr H_((aq.))^(+)+OH_((aq.))^(-),DeltaH=57.32kJ` `H_(2(g))+(1)/(2)O_(2(g))rarrH_(2)O_((l)),DeltaH=-286.20kJ` The value of enthalpy of formation of `OH^(-)` ion at `25^(@)C` is `:`A. `+228.88 kJ`B. `-343.52 kJ`C. `-22.88 kJ`D. `-228.88 kJ`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`H_(2)O_((l))rarr H^(+)(aq)+OH^(-)(aq) , Delta H=57.32`
`Delta H=[Delta H_(f)(H^(+))+Delta H_(f)(OH^(-)]-Delta H_(f)(H_(2)O)`
From eq. (ii) `Delta H_(f)(H_(2)O)=-286.20 kJ`
Given `Delta H_(f)(H^(+)) = 0`
`therefore 57.32 =0+Delta H_(f)(OH^(-))-(-286.20)`

On the basis of the following thermochemical data `:` `(Delta_(f)G^(@)H_((aq.))^(+)=0)` `H_(2)O_((l))rarr H_((aq.))^(+)+OH_((aq.))^(-),DeltaH=57.32kJ` `H_(2(g))+(1)/(2)O_(2(g))rarrH_(2)O_((l)),DeltaH=-286.20kJ` The value of enthalpy of formation of `OH^(-)` ion at `25^(@)C` is `:`A. `-228.88 KJ`B. `+228.88 KJ`C. `-343.52 KJ`D. `-22.88 KJ`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`H_(2)(g)+(1)/(2)O_(2)(g) rarr H_(2)O(l)" " =-286.20 KJ`
`DeltaH_(r)=DeltaH_(f)(H_(2)O,l) = DeltaH_(f)(H_(2),g) -(1)/(2)DeltaH_(r) (O_(2),g)`
`-286.20 = DeltaH_(f)(H_(2)O(l))`
So `DeltaH-=_(f) (H_(2)O,l) =-286.20 KJ//"mole"`
`H_(2)O(l) rarr H^(+) (aq) + OH^(-)(aq)" "DeltaH = 57.32 KJ`
`DeltaH_(r)= DeltaH_(f)^(@) (H^(+),aq) + DeltaH_(f)^(@)(OH^(-),aq) -DeltaH_(f)^(@)(H_(2)O,l)`
`57.32 = 0+ DeltaH_(f)^(@)(OH^(-),aq) -(-286.20)`
`DeltaH_(f)^(@)(OH^(-), aq) = 57.32 - 286.20 =-228.88 KJ`.

A sample of certain mas s of an ideal polyatomic gas is expanded against constant pressure of 1 atm adiabatically from volume 2L , pressure 6 atm and temperature 300K to state where its final volume is 8L . Then calculate entropy change (in J/k) in the process.(Neglect vibrational degress of freedom)[1 L atm = 100 J ,log 2 =0.3 , log 3 = 0.48 , log e = 2.3] (approximate integer)

Answer» Correct Answer - 6
`W=-P_("ext")(V_(f)-V_(i))` =- (1 atm) (8-2)L =- 6L atm
as q=0 so
`DeltaE=w " " implies " " 3(8P_(f) -12)=-6`
`8P_(f) =12 -(6)/(3)=10 implies P_(f)=(5)/(4) atm`
so `(T_(f))/(T_(i))=((5)/(4)xx3)/(6xx2)=(10)/(12)`
so `DeltaS =3(12)/(300) "In" (10)/(12) + (12)/(300) "In" 8`
`=(3xx12)/(300) "In" ((5)/(6)xx2)`
`=(12)/(100) "In" ((5)/(3)) xx 100J`
`=12 ("In" 5-"In"3)= 12 xx 2.3 xx(0.7 - 0.48)`
`=12xx 2.3 xx 0.22 =6.072 J//K`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`DeltaU=w`
`nxx(R )/(gamma-1)(T_(2)-T_(1))=-P_("ext")((nRT_(2))/(P_(2))-(nRT_(1))/(P_(1)))`
`3(T_(2)-T_(1))=-1((T_(2))/(1)-(T_(1))/(2)]`
`3T_(2)-3T_(1)=-T_(2)+(T_(1))/(2)`
`4T_(2)=(7T_(1))/(2)`
`T_(2)=(7T_(1))/(8)=(7xx400)/(8)=350 K`
`(P_(1)V_(1))/(T_(1))=(P_(2)V_(2))/(T_(2))implies(2xx10)/(400)=(1xxV_(2))/(350)impliesV_(2)=17.5 L`

The triple point of water is standard fixed point in modern thermometry. why? what is wrong in taking the melting point of ice and the boiling point of water as standard fixed points as was originally done in the Celsius scale?

Answer»

It is because of the fact that triple point of substance unique, i.e., it occurs at one particular set of values of pressure and temperature. The melting point of ice and boiling point of water are not unique. They change with the change in value of pressure of due to the presence of impurities in water.

Two carnot engines A and B are operated in series. The first one A receives heat at `900K` and rejects it to a reservoir at `T K`. The second engine B receives the heat rejected by the first engine and rejects it to a heat reservoir at `400K`. Calculate the value of `T`, when the efficiency ot two engines is the same.

Answer» Correct Answer - `600K`
Here, `eta=(1-T/(900))=(1-(400)/T)`
`:. T/(900)=(400)/T or T=sqrt(36xx10^(4))=600K`

Two Carnot engines are operated in succession. The first engine receives heat from a source at `T=800K` and rejects to sink at `T_(2)K`. The second engine receives heat rejected by the first engine and rejects to another sink at `T_(3)= 300K`. If work outputs of the two engines are equal, then find the value of `T_(2)`.A. `100K`B. `300K`C. `550K`D. `700K`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`eta_(A)=(T_(1)-T_(2))/(T_(1))=(W_(A))/(Q_(1)),eta_(B)=(T_(2)-T_(3))/(T_(3))=(W_(B))/(Q_(2))`
`(Q_(1))/(Q_(2))=(T_(1))/(T_(2))xx(T_(2)-T_(3))/(T_(1)-T_(2))=(T_(1))/(T_(2))" "( :.W_(A)=W_(B))`
`T_(2)=(T_(1)+T_(3))/(2) `

Two Carnot engines are operated in succession. The first engine receives heat from a source at `T=800K` and rejects to sink at `T_(2)K`. The second engine receives heat rejected by the first engine and rejects to another sink at `T_(3)= 300K`. If work outputs of the two engines are equal, then find the value of `T_(2)`.

Answer» For the first engine,
`Q_(1)-Q_(2)= W and (Q_(2))/(Q_(1))= (T_(2))/(T_(1))`….(i)
For the second engine,
`Q_(2)-Q_(3)= W and (Q_(3))/(Q_(2))=(T_(3))/(T_(2))`....(ii)
`(Q_(3))/(Q_(2))xx(Q_(2))/(Q_(1))=(T_(2))/(T_(1))xx(T_(3))/(T_(2))`
`(Q_(3))/(Q_(1))=(T_(3))/(T_(1))=(300)/(800)=3/8`
Also, from (i) and (ii)
`Q_(1)-Q_(2)= Q_(2)-Q_(3)`
`Q_(1)+Q_(3)=2 Q_(2)`
`1+(Q_(3))/(Q_(1))= 2(Q_(2))/(Q_(1))=(2T_(2))/(T_(1))`
`1+3/8= (2T_(2))/(T_(1))= 11/8`
`T_(2)= (11)/(16)xxT_(1)=(11)/(16)xx800= 550K`

Enthalpy of combustion of carbon to `CO_(2)` is `-393.5 kJ mol^(-1)`. Calculate the heat released upon formation of `35.2 g` of `CO_(2)` from carbon and dioxygen gas.A. `-315 KJ`B. `+315KJ`C. `-630 KJ`D. `-3.15 KJ`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Given, `C(s) + O_(2)(g) to CO_(2)(g)` ,
`Delta_(f)H=-393.5 KJ "mol"^(-1)`
Heat released on formation of 44 g or 1 mole
`CO_(2) =- 395.5 KJ "mol"^(-1)`
`because ` Heat released on formation of 35.2 g of `CO_(2)`
`=(-393.5 KJ "mol"^(-1))/(44 g) xx35.2 g =- 315 KJ "mol"^(-1)`

The value on a cyclinder containing initially `1` litres of an ideal gas at `7 atm` and `25^(@)C` is opened to the atmosphere, Whose the pressure is `760` torr and the temperature is `25^(@)C`. Assuming that the process is isothermal, how much work ( in `L atm`) is done on hte atmosphere by the action of expansion ?

Answer» Correct Answer - 6
`T="constant"`
`P_(1)V_(1)= P_(2)V_(2)`
`W= -P(DeltaV)`
`=1xx(7-1)`
`= -6 L. atm`
`W= -6 L. atm`
