The dissociation energy of CH4 and C2H6 to convert them into gaseous atoms are 360 and 620 kcal mol-1 respectively. Thus, bond energy of (C—C) bond is
  • a)
    260 kcal mol-1
  • b)
    180 kcal mol-1
  • c)
    130 kcal mol-1
  • d)
    80 kcal mol-1
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Krishna Iyer answered
In CH4 there are 4-C-H bonds. 
Let C-H bond energy be X. So 4X = 360. or X = 90. 
Now, in C2H6 there are 6 C-H bonds and 1C-C bond. 
Let C-C B. E be y. 
So 6X + Y = 620. or Y = 620-6×90 = 80.

Which of the following reactions defines ΔfH° ?
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Raghav Bansal answered
For ∆H formation we have to look for following:
1. formation of "1 mole" of substance.
2. from "stable" constituting elements.
In first option 1 mole of Co2 should be formed from C(graphite) for enthalpy of formation to be defined.
In third option 2 moles of NH3 is formed instead of 1 mole. So incorrect.
In fourth option Co2 is not formed from constituent elements I.e C(gr) and O2(g) so it is not enthalpy of formation.

ΔfU° of formation of CH4(g) at a certain temperature is - 393 kJ mol-1. The value of ΔfH° is

The balanced equation for combustion of methane is:
CH4(g)+2O2(g)→CO2(g)+2H2O(l)Here, Δng=1−3=−2
ΔH0=ΔU0+ΔngRT
ΔH=−393−2RT
∴ΔH0<ΔU0

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

Pooja Shah answered
For reaction of 1 mole of H+ and 1 mole of OH-, -13.6 kcal energy is released.
100 mL of 1 M Ca(OH)2 = moles = molarity volume = 0.1× 1 = 0.1
Moles of OH- = 0.2
 100 mL of 1 M H2SO4=  moles = molarity volume = 0.1× 1 = 0.1
Moles of H+ = 0.2
SO 0.2 moles of H+ and OH- reacts. 
Energy released, 0.2 ×13.6 =2.74 kcal.

Based on the following reactions,
Q. Heat of formation of NO2 (in kcal) is ........
    Correct answer is '4'. Can you explain this answer?

    Lohit Matani answered
    N2(g) + O2(g) → 2NO ----- (i) ∆rH° = 43 kcal
    2NO(g) + O2(g) → 2NO2(g) -----(ii)     ∆rH° = -35 kcal
    Enthalpy of formation of NO2 means we need to have 1 mole of NO2 from its constituting elements. 
    We will have (i)/2 + (ii)/2
    ½ N2(g) + O2(g) → NO2(g) ∆fH° = 4 kcal

    Ethanol can undergo decomposition to form two sets of products
    Q. If the molar ratio of C2H4 to CH3CHO is 8 : 1 in a set of product gases, then, energy involved in the decomposition process is

      14.31 KJ
    • b)
      57.23 KJ
    • c)
      48.14 KJ
    • d)
      66.31 KJ
    Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

    Lavanya Menon answered
    A/Q molar ratio of C2H4 and CH3CHO is 8:1
    So from eqn 1
    ∆H = 8 45.54
    = 364.32 kJ
    Similarly from eqn 
    ∆H = 68.91 1 
    = 68.91 kJ
    Total ∆H = 364.32+68.91
    Therefore, enthalpy change per mole of C2H5OH used 364.32+68.91/9
    = 48.14 kJ

    The enthalpies of fusion for all reactions are
    • a)
      Negative
    • b)
      Depends on the type of substance
    • c)
      Zero
    • d)
      Positive
    Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

    Lavanya Menon answered
    The enthalpies of fusion for all reactions are always positive because melting of a solid is an endothermic process in which heat is supplied to the reaction Hence the sum of enthalpies of the product is greater than the sum of enthalpies of the reactant.

    Thus, heat of neutralisation of H2C2O4 (aq) is
    • a)
      -16.9 kcal mol-1
    • b)
      -10.5 kcal mol-1
    • c)
      -24.2 kcal mol-1
    • d)
       -30.6 kcal mol-1
    Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

    Geetika Shah answered

    We can say that enthalpy of neutralisation of H2C2O4 means that we have 2 moles of H+. So, for weak acid, enthalpy of neutralisation = heat released in neutralisation of H+ and OH- + enthalpy of ionisation.
    ∆Hneutralisation = 2 (-13.6) + 3.2 = -24.2 kcal mol-1

    Based on the following thermochemical reactions at 298 K and 1 bar

      90 kJ mol-1
    • b)
      45 kJ mol-1
    • c)
      -90 kJ mol-1
    • d)
      -45 kJ mol-1
    Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

    Gaurav Kumar answered
    Enthalpy of vaporization is defined for a substance when one mole of the substance is converted into the gaseous state. To obtain the enthalpy of vaporization of H2O liquid we will add reaction 1 and reaction 2 and then divide the enthalpy of x to since we need to calculate the enthalpy of vaporization for single mole of H2O

    Latent heat of fusion of ice is 6.02 kJ mol-1. The heat capacity of water is 4.18 Jg-1K-1. 500 g of liquid water is to be cooled from 20°C to 0°C . Number of ice cubes (each of one mole) required is
    • a)
      1
    • b)
      7
    • c)
      14
    • d)
      125
    Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

    Rajat Patel answered
    Molecular mass of hydrogen = 1  
    Molecular mass of oxygen =16  
    Molecular mass of water = 18 gram per mole  
    As,
    n = m / M
    n = 500 / 18
    n = 27.8 moles  
    For cooling 27.8 moles at 20 = 27.8 x 75.4 x 20 = 41.922 kilo joule
    41.922/6  = 6.987 that is approximately equal to 7  
    So, the number of ice cubes that are required to cool the water will be 7.

    Enthalpy of neutralisation of a weak dibasic acid by NaOH is - 24.0 kcal. Thus, enthalpy of ionisation of dibasic acid is
    • a)
      10.3 kcal mol-1
    • b)
      3.4 kcal mol-1
    • c)
      13.7 kcal mol-1
    • d)
      -13.7 kcal mol-1
    Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

    Rajesh Gupta answered
    Enthalpy of neutralisation = ∆HH+ + OH- → H2O + ∆Hionisation
    -24.0 = -27.4 + ∆Hionisation   (since we have 2 moles of H+ and OH-, so enthalpy  will also double)
    ∆Hionisation = 3.4 kcal mol-1

    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.

    Krishna Iyer answered
    The correct answer is option C
    From, Kirchhoff's equation
    △H2​ (1000 K) = △H1​(300 K) + △Cp​(1000−300)
    Here, △H2​(1000 K) = −123.77 kJ mol−1
    △H1​(300 K)=?
    △Cp​ = 2Cp​(NH3​) − [Cp​(N2​) + 3Cp​(H2​)]
    =−6R
    =−6 × 8.314 × 10−3kJ
    ∴−123.77 = △H1​(300 K) + 6 × 8.314 × 10−3× 700
    or △H1​(300 K) = −88.85 kJ
    For two moles of NH3​
    ∴△Hf​ (NH3​) = △H1​(300K)/2​
    =−88.85/​2
    =−44.42 kJ mol−1

      Suresh Reddy answered
      Let us assume the structures as given below and calculate bond energies,
      Let us assume the given structures of C6H6 are:

      A + 4H2  ---> n - hexane
      H =5101+4(435) -7451 = -610KJ/mol
      B+4H2 ---> n - hexane
      H =5138+4(435)-74551 =-573KJ/mol
      Hence our assumed structures are correct.

      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 .

      Heat of neutralisation of a polybasic acid by a strong base is - 54.8 kcal mol-1? What is basicity of the acid?
        Correct answer is '4'. Can you explain this answer?

        Lavanya Menon answered
        For reaction of 1 mole of H+ and one mole of OH-, -13.6 kcal energy is released. As we have energy released = -54.8, 
        Therefore -13.6×nH+ = -54.8
        nH+ = 4
        So, the basicity of acid given here is 4.

          Bhargavi Joshi answered
          In case of helium (monoatomic gas) we have only three degrees of freedom which correspond to three translational motion so the total heat capacity will increase. The contributors by vibrational motion are not appreciable at low temperature but increase from 0 to R when temperature increases.
          CV=−f(R)/2
          CV=-f(R)2, where f is the degree of freedom. At low temperature only translational motion is considered and f=3
          ∴CV=3R/2
          f=3.∴CV=3R2 At moderate temperature both translational and rotational motions are considered. 
          f=3+2
          f=3+2 (3-translational and 2 rotational). 
          ∴CV=5R/2
          ∴CV=5R2. At still high temperature translational, rotational and vibrational motions are considered. 
          f=3+2+2
          f=3+2+2 (3-translatinal , 2-rotational, 2-vibrational).

            To determine: T2 in terms of T1

            Explanation:
            The given reactions are acid-base neutralization reactions that liberate heat. The heat is measured in terms of a rise in temperature.

            The heat liberated in a reaction is directly proportional to the number of moles of the limiting reagent. In the given reactions, the limiting reagent is H2SO4.

            Let's calculate the number of moles of H2SO4 in both reactions.

            In the first reaction, the volume of H2SO4 is 30 mL, which is the same as the volume of Ba(OH)2. Therefore, the number of moles of H2SO4 is:

            n(H2SO4) = Molarity × Volume = 0.1 × 0.03 = 0.003 moles

            In the second reaction, the volume of H2SO4 is three times the volume in the first reaction. Therefore, the number of moles of H2SO4 is:

            n(H2SO4) = Molarity × Volume = 0.1 × 0.09 = 0.009 moles

            As the number of moles of H2SO4 is three times greater in the second reaction, the heat liberated will also be three times greater.

            Therefore, T2 = 3T1

            Hence, option A is the correct answer.

            Given

            • c)
              - 47.0 kJ mol-1
            • d)
              + 47.0 kJ mol-1
            Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

            Let's number our eqns-
            CH3OH + 3/2 O2 → CO2 + 2H2O ...(1)
            ΔH1 = –726 kJ/mol
            C + O2 → CO2 ...(2)
            ΔH2 = –393 kJ/mol
            H2 + 1/2 O2 → H2O ...(3)
            ΔH3 = –286 kJ/mol
            Eqn(2) + 2×eqn(3) - eqn(1) :-
            C + O2 + 2H2 + O2 + CO2 + 2H20→ CO2 + 2H20 + CH3OH + 3/2 O2
            C + 1/2 O2 + 2H2 → CH3OH
            Thus enthalpy of formation-
            ∆Hf(CH3OH) = ∆H2 + 2∆H3 - ∆H1
            ∆Hf(CH3OH) = -393 + 2(-286) + 726
            ∆Hf(CH3OH) = -239 kJ/mol
