Preeti Khanna answered
Intensive means that the property is mass independent. We can see that Boiling point, pH, EMF of cell and surface tension are intensive pont . 
While Extensive property  depends on mass and in given options Volume and entropy are mass dependents.

One mole each of CaC2, AI4C3 and Mg2C3 reacts with H2O in separate open flasks at 25° C. Numerical value of the work done by the system is in order
  • a)
    CaC2 < AI4C3 = Mg2C3
  • b)
    CaC2 < AI4C3 < Mg2C3
  • c)
    CaC2 = Mg2C3 < AI4C3
  • d)
    CaC2 = Mg2C3 = AI4C3
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Ciel Knowledge answered
i) CaC2 + 2H2O  →  C2H2(g) + Ca(OH)2
ii) Mg2C3 + 4H2O → CH3-C≡CH(g) + 2Mg(OH)2
iii) Al4C3 + 12H2O → 3CH4(g) + 4Al(OH)3
Work done = -∆ngRT 
Or W ∝ ∆ng
Wecan see that in case iii) we have maximum no of moles in the product side(∆ng = 3). So work done will be maximum in case iii). After that in i) and ii), we have the same number of moles on the product side(∆ng = 1), so work done will be the same.
Therefore, option c is correct.

A gas absorbs 200 J of heat and expands by 500 cm3 against a constant pressure of 2 x 105 Nm-2. Change in internal energy is 
  • a)
    - 300 J
  • b)
    - 100 J
  • c)
    +100 J
  • d)
    +300 J
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Neha Joshi answered
The expression for the change in internal energy is given by,
ΔU=q+w
q = heat absorbed = 200 J
w = work done = −P x V
=−2×10⁵ × 500×10−6
= −100 N - m
ΔU=200−100J= 100 J
Hence, the correct option is C.

A cyclic proces ABCD is shown in PV diagram for an ideal gas.
Which of the following diagram represents the same process
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Raghav Bansal answered
In such type of graph conversions, the best way to work is to make a parameter constant and then derive the results between others.

Let us make pressure constant. Then we have, VB>VA  
Or
(nrTA/P)<(nrTB/P) or TA<TB
In terms of V-T curve, the thing happens as follow:-
 A to B (Volume increase from VA to VB. No change in pressure). B to C (temperature is constant), C to D (Volume remains constant) and D to A (Volume decreases but temperature remains constant. However the constant value is less than from B to C). On these all conditions, only graph d stands.

For the following process, H2 (g) → 2 H(g), it absorbs 436 kJ mol-1. Thus,
  • a)
    internal energy of the system is 436 kJ mol-1
  • b)
    change in internal energy is 436 kJ mol-1
  • c)
    internal energy of the system is 218 kJ mol-1
  • d)
    change in internal energy of the system is 218 kJ mol-1
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Geetika Shah answered
In this process, one molecule of hydrogen gas dissociated into two gaseous atoms i.e. the number of gaseous particles increase leading to  a more disordered state. 
.Breaking of bond requires energy
It is not mentioned that the process is isobaric. If we assume that process is isobaric because volume can not remain constant as number of gaseous particles are increased, then change in internal energy = 436 kJ mol-1. The data of absorption gives us the value of q.

    I, II, III, IV
Correct answer is option `A`. Can you explain this answer?

Hansa Sharma answered
First 4 are fundamental examples of state functions as they are path independent. Since reversible expansion depends on the path followed by process, so it is a path function. However, irreversible expansion work is independent of the path and so, it is a state function.

0.1 = 10g/( Mx +2My
Mx + 2My = 100g -------(1)
for x3y2 ; mole of x3y2 = 0.05 
0.05 = 9/( 3Mx + 2My
3Mx + 2My = 9/0.05 = 9 × 20 = 180 g ---(2) 
solve eqns (1) and (2)
2Mx = 80 
Mx = 40g/mol 
and My = 30g/mole

Krishna Iyer answered
Applying ideal gas eqn. at 1
p×22.4 = 1×0.0821×298        (since vol. Is in L. R should haave constaant with lit in it.)
p = 1.09 atm. To convert it into bar, we multiply it by 1.01 or we have 1.03 bar
Similarly at 2 and 3, we get value of pressure at 2 and 3.

The symbol represents enthalpy of combustion which is always exothermic. For exothermic rxn delta H is always -ve. 

For an endothermic reaction when ΔH represents the enthalpy of the reaction in kJ mol-1, the minimum value for the energy of activation will be
[IIT JEE 1992]
  • a)
    less than ΔH
  • b)
    Zero
  • c)
    More than ΔH
  • d)
    Equal to ΔH
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Hansa Sharma answered
,More than ΔH
In endothermic reactions, the energy of reactants is less than that of the products. Potential energy diagram for endothermic reactions is,

Where Ea = activation energy of forwarding reaction
Ea' = activation energy of backwards reaction
ΔH = enthalpy of the reaction

From the above diagram,
Ea = Ea' + ΔH
Thus, Ea > ΔH

The reaction CH4(g) + Cl2(g) → CH3Cl(g) + HCl(g) has ΔH = -25 kCal.
From the given data, what is the bond energy of Cl - Cl bond
  • a)
    70 kCal 
  • b)
    80 kCal
  • c)
     67.75 kCal
  • d)
     57.75 kCal
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

During bond breakage energy is absorbed and during bond formation it is released. From the reaction we can say that 1 C-H bond is broken 1 Cl-Cl bond is broken 1 c-cl bond is formed and 1 h-cl bond is formed. so using the sign conventions the equation becomes
x+y-84-103= -25 (∆H = -25)
5x=9y ..putting x=9/5y we get y = 57.75 kCal

Naina Sharma answered
The formation of NCl3 be like
½ N2 + 3/2Cl2 ⇋ NCl3
We can see that for this setup, we need to have eqn (ii) divided by 2, reversing eqn (iii) and multiplying it by 3/2 and then adding all these to equation (i).
So option a is correct.

Let atomic weight of x = Mx
atomic weight of y = M
we know, 
mole = weight /atomic weight 
a/c to question, 
mole of xy2 = 0.1 
so, 
0.1 = 10g/( Mx +2My
Mx + 2My = 100g -------(1)
for x3y2 ; mole of x3y2 = 0.05 
0.05 = 9/( 3Mx + 2My
3Mx + 2My = 9/0.05 = 9 × 20 = 180 g ---(2) 
solve eqns (1) and (2)
2Mx = 80 
Mx = 40g/mol 
and My = 30g/mole

How many kcal of heat is evolved by the complete neutralisation of one mole sulphuric acid with NaOH -

Om Desai answered
For the reaction of 1 mole of H+ and OH-,we have 13.6 kcal energy released. In H2SO4, we have 2 moles of H+. So for its complete neutralisation, we need 2 moles of NaOH. 
So in the end, 2 moles of H+ reacts with2 moles of OH- and 13.6 2 = 27.4 kcal energy is released.

Riya Banerjee answered
Mol. wt. of methane =16gm
Heat liberated during the combustion of 4gm methane = 2.5kcal
Heat liberated during the combustion of 16gm methane = 2.5/4×16=10kcal
Hence the heat of combustion of methane is 10 kcal.

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Mohit Rajpoot answered
Moles of S8 = 2.56/256 = 0.01
So, moles of SO2  formed = 0.08
Rise in temperature = (273+26.72)K - (273+21.25)K
= 5.47 K
Total Energy in internal energy (as system is at constant volume) = -(923 jK-1 × 5.47 +815g×4.18)
= -23701.29 J = -23.70129 kJ
Thus change in internal energy per mole of formed = -23.7012kJ/0.08 = -296.3 kJ

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Arpita Tiwari answered
Measure of disor der of a system is noth ing but Entropy. For a spontaneous reaction, ΔG < 0. As per Gibbs Helmnoltz equation, ΔG = ΔH – TΔS
Thus ΔG is –ve only When ΔH = –ve (exothermic) and ΔS = +ve (increasing disorder)

Which reaction, with the following values of ΔH and ΔS at 400 K is spontaneous and endothermic?
 
  • a)
    a
  • b)
    b
  • c)
    c
  • d)
    d
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Om Desai answered
∆G = ∆H - T∆S
For opt (c), ∆G = 48000 - 400(135)
= 48000 - 54000
= -6000
∆G is -ve
Therefore reaction is spontaneous.

The pressure-volume work for an ideal gas can be calculated using the expression
This type of work can also be calculated using the area under the curve within the specified limits. When an ideal gas is compressed, (I) reversibly or (II) irreversibly, then
  • a)
    W(I) = W(II)
  • b)
    W(I) < W(II)
  • c)
    W(I) > W(II)
  • d)
    W(I) = W (II) + pexΔV
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Neha Joshi answered
Work done is the area under the P−V curve. It can be seen in the curve above that the area under the P−V curve for irreversible compression of the gas is more than the area under the curve for reversible compression.
Thus, work done for irreversible compression is more than that for reversible compression.

During isothermal expansion of an ideal gas, its
  • a)
    internal energy increases [1991, 94]
  • b)
    enthalpy decreases
  • c)
    enthalpy remains unaffected
  • d)
    enthalpy reduces to zero.
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Shanaya Rane answered
During isothermal expansion of ideal gas,
ΔT = 0.   Now H = E + PV
∵ ΔH = ΔE + Δ(PV)
∴ ΔH = ΔE + Δ(nRTT));
Thus if ΔT = 0., ΔH = ΔE i.e., remain unaffected
