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

Lohit Matani answered

Volume in (I) = nRT/P1 = 1× 0.0821× 298/4 = 6.11 L
Volume in (II) = nRT/P2 = 1× 0.0821× 298/2 = 12.23 L
Total volume = 18.34 L
Applying PV = nRT at final condition, 
P = 2× 0.0821× 298/18.34 = 2.66

The solubility of fluorides is much less as compared to corresponding chlorides
  • a)
    because of low lattice enthalpy.
  • b)
    because of high lattice enthalpy.
  • c)
    because of low ionization energy.
  • d)
    because of high ionization energy.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Om Desai answered
Due to high lattice enthalpy of fluorides, it is difficult to break the lattice of fluoride compounds(due to the small size of fluorine, so the lattice is strong). SO the solubility of fluorides is less than chlorides.

Gaurav Kumar answered
For isobaric process, we have ∆S =nCpln(T2/T1)
T2 = 273+127 = 400K and T1 = 273+227 = 300K
Applying pV = nRT at initial condition,
1×10 = n×0.0821×300
n = 0.40
Applying ∆S =nCpln(T2/T1)
∆S =0.40×5/2R×ln(400/300) = 2.38 JK-1

ΔHvap = 30 kJ mol-1 and ΔSvap = 75 J mol-1 K-1. Thus, temperature of the vapour at 1 atm is

Gaurav Kumar answered
Vapour pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure ,it means the substance is at boiling point
At boiling point, liquid and Gas are in equilibrium. Therefore dG=0
dG = H - TdS
dG = 0
⇒H = TdS
⇒T = H/dS
⇒ T = 30 103/75 = 400K

 The increasing order of enthalpy of vaporization of NH3, PH3, and AsH3 is

  • b)
    NH3, PH3, AsH3
  • c)
    AsH3, PH3, NH3
  • d)
    PH3, AsH3, NH3
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Preeti Iyer answered
The inter-particle forces are strongest in NH3 (Hydrogen bonds). In PH3 and AsH3 the inter-particle forces are dipole-dipole forces which are relatively stronger in AsH3. So the increasing order of vaporization is PH3, AsH3, and NH3 .

Consider the following reactions

Q. What is the resonance energy (in kcal) of A?
    Correct answer is '8'. Can you explain this answer?

    Gaurav Kumar answered
    Resonance energy = (Observed ∆H) - (Theoretical ∆H)
    = (-98.0) - 2(-45.0)
    = -8 kcal mol-1
    So we have Resnance energy = 8

    Understanding Free Energy Change in Chemical Processes
    In spontaneous chemical processes, the change in free energy is a crucial indicator of whether a reaction can occur without external intervention.
    What is Free Energy?
    - Free energy, often represented as G, is a thermodynamic quantity that combines enthalpy and entropy.
    - It helps predict the direction of chemical reactions.
    Spontaneous Processes
    - A spontaneous process is one that occurs naturally under specific conditions without needing to be driven by an external force.
    - For such processes, the system tends to move towards equilibrium.
    Free Energy Change (ΔG)
    - The change in free energy (ΔG) is calculated as the difference in free energy between the products and reactants.
    - The sign of ΔG determines the spontaneity of the reaction.
    Negative Free Energy Change
    - If ΔG is negative (ΔG < 0),="" it="" indicates="" that="" the="" reaction="" can="" occur="" />
    - A negative value signifies that the products have lower free energy compared to the reactants, meaning energy is released during the process.
    Implications of ΔG
    - A negative ΔG implies that the reaction is thermodynamically favorable.
    - This release of energy often results in increased entropy, a natural tendency for systems to achieve greater disorder.
    Conclusion
    - Therefore, for spontaneous chemical processes, the free energy change is indeed negative, confirming that option 'B' is correct.
    - Understanding this concept is vital in predicting reaction behavior in chemistry.

      Ameya Basu answered
      A spontaneous process is the time-evolution of a system in which it releases free energy and it moves to a lower, more thermodynamically stable energy state. For cases involving an isolated system where no energy is exchanged with the surroundings, spontaneous processes are characterized by an increase in entropy

      Which of the following is extensive property?

        Temperature
      • d)
        Refractive index
      Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

      Tanishq Unni answered
      Extensive Property:

      An extensive property is a physical property of a system that depends on the amount of substance present in the system. In other words, extensive properties are additive and scale with the size or amount of the system. The value of an extensive property changes when the size or amount of the system changes.

      Explanation:

      Out of the given options, the correct answer is option 'B' - Entropy.

      Entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness of a system. It is a thermodynamic property that quantifies the number of microscopic configurations that a system can have. Entropy is an extensive property because it depends on the size or amount of the system.

      Comparison with Other Options:

      a) Specific Heat Capacity:
      Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by a certain amount. It is an intensive property because it does not depend on the amount of substance present. The specific heat capacity of a substance remains the same regardless of the size or amount of the substance.

      b) Entropy:
      As mentioned earlier, entropy is an extensive property as it depends on the amount of substance present in the system. If the system size or amount changes, the entropy of the system will also change proportionally.

      c) Temperature:
      Temperature is an intensive property because it does not depend on the amount of substance present. The temperature of a substance remains the same regardless of the size or amount of the substance.

      d) Refractive Index:
      Refractive index is a measure of how light propagates through a medium. It is an intensive property because it does not depend on the amount of substance present. The refractive index of a substance remains the same regardless of the size or amount of the substance.

      Conclusion:

      Among the given options, entropy is the only extensive property. It is a thermodynamic property that depends on the amount of substance present in the system. The other options, specific heat capacity, temperature, and refractive index, are intensive properties that do not depend on the amount of substance present.

      What is the change in the entropy of water, When ice melts into water?
      • a)
        Entropy of water increases.
      • b)
        Entropy of water becomes zero.
      • c)
        Entropy of water decreases.
      • d)
        Entropy of water remains same.
      Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

      Raghav Yadav answered
      The greater the randomness in a system, greater is its entropy. The randomness is greater in liquid state as compared to solid state so the entropy increases when ice melts into water.

      Direction (Q. No. 9) This sectionis based on statement I and Statement II. Select the correct answer from the code given below.
      Q. 
      Statement I :Every endothermic reaction is spontaneous if TΔS > ΔH.
      Statement II : Sign of ΔG is the true criterion for deciding spontaneity of a reaction.
      • a)
        Both Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I
      • b)
        Both Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I
      • c)
        Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
      • d)
        Statement II is correct but Statement I is incorrect
      Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

      Statement I: Every endothermic reaction is spontaneous if TΔS > ΔH.
      Endothermic reactions have a positive ΔH (heat absorbed). For spontaneity, we use the Gibbs free energy equation:
      ΔG=ΔH−TΔS\Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta SΔG=ΔH−TΔS For a process to be spontaneous, ΔG<0\Delta G < 0ΔG<0. If TΔS>ΔHT\Delta S > \Delta HTΔS>ΔH, then ΔG\Delta GΔG becomes negative, indicating spontaneity. Hence, Statement I is correct.
      Statement II: Sign of ΔG is the true criterion for deciding spontaneity of a reaction.
      This is a fundamental thermodynamic principle. The sign of ΔG\Delta GΔG indeed determines whether a reaction is spontaneous (ΔG<0\Delta G < 0ΔG<0) or non-spontaneous (ΔG>0\Delta G > 0ΔG>0). Hence, Statement II is also correct.
      Correct Answer: Since both statements are correct and the second statement explains the first, the correct option is:
      A: Both Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I.
