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

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

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

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

Ameya Basu answered
The sign of ΔG will change from positive to negative (or vice versa) where T = ΔH/ΔS. In cases where ΔG is: negative, the process is spontaneous and may proceed in the forward direction as written. positive, the process is non-spontaneous as written, but it may proceed spontaneously in the reverse direction.

 Which of the following is true about a spontaneous process?
  • a)
    Spontaneity does not depend on Gibbs energy.

    Gibbs energy change is less than 0.
  • c)
    Gibbs energy change is 0.
  • d)
    Gibbs energy change is greater than 0.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

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?
  • a)
    Specific heat capacity
  • b)
    Entropy
  • c)
    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.

  • d)
    ΔSTotal = 0
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Raghav Yadav answered
The second law of thermodynamics states that for any spontaneous process, the overall ΔS must be greater than or equal to zero; yet, spontaneous chemical reactions can result in a negative change in entropy.

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.

In the evaporation of water, the entropy
  • a)
    does not change
  • b)
    increases
  • c)
    decreases
  • d)
    first increases and then decreases
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Raghav Yadav answered
The entropy of vaporization is the increase in entropy upon vaporization of a liquid. This is always positive, since the degree of disorder increases in the transition from a liquid in a relatively small volume to a vapor or gas occupying a much larger space.

A cyclic heat engine operates between a source temperature of 927 oC and a sink temperature of 27 oC. What will be the maximum efficiency of the heat engine?
  • a)
    100 %
  • b)
    80 %
  • c)
    75 % 
  • d)
    70 %
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Anisha Chauhan answered
Heat engine is operated between the temperatures

T1 = 927 0C = 927 + 273 = 1200 K and
T2 = 27 0C = 27 + 273 = 300 K

The maximum efficiency of a heat engine is given by,

ηmax = 1 – (T2/T1)
ηmax = 1 – (300/1200)
ηmax = 0.75

Consider a reversible isentropic expansion of 1.0 mole of an ideal monoatomic gas from 25°C to 75°C. If the initial pressure was 1.0 bar, final pressure is 
  • a)
    1.474 bar
  • b)
    0.678 bar
  • c)
    0.796 bar
  • d)
    1.00 bar
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Sonal Dey answered
Isentropic process means that entropy is constant. This is true only for reversible adiabatic process.
Applying P11-γ T1γ = P21-γ T2γ (for monatomic species, γ = 5/3)
(1/P)-⅔ = (75+273/25+273)5/3
Or (1/P)-2 = (348/298)5
Or P = 1.474 bar

Q. Which of the following statements is/are true?
  • a)
    The entropy of a substance increases on going from the liquid to the vapour state at any temperature
  • b)
    An exothermic reaction will always be spontaneous
  • c)
    Reactions with a positive (ΔH° and ΔS°) can never be product favoured
  • d)
    If ΔG° for a reaction is negative, the reaction will have an equilibrium constant i greater than one
Correct answer is option 'A,D'. Can you explain this answer?

Pallabi Rane answered
The entropy of a substance increases on going from the liquid to the vapour state at any temperature. It is true. As randomness increases, entropy also increases.
∆G = ∆H - T∆S. So for spontaneous reaction, all 3(T, ∆H and ∆S) are needed.
An exothermic reaction will always be spontaneous. THis is false
Reactions with a positive (ΔH° and ΔS°) can never be product favoured. False, for a larger value of T, ∆G might be negative. 
If ΔG° for a reaction is negative, the reaction will have an equilibrium constant greater than one. True, for ΔG° less than 0, reaction is spontaneous and so, ith=s eqm constant will have value greater than 1.

Calculate the Gibbs free energy for the reaction of conversion of ATP into ADP at 293 Kelvin the change in enthalpy is 19.07 Kcal and the change in entropy is 90 cal per Kelvin.
  • a)
    7.3 cal
  • b)
    -5.3 Kcal
  • c)
    7.3 Kcal
  • d)
     -7.3 Kcal
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Rajesh Gupta answered
We have ΔG = ΔH – TΔS; by substituting ΔH = 19.07 kcal and ΔS = 90 cal/K, we get ΔG = 19.07 Kcal – 293(90 cal/K) = 19.07 Kcal – 26.37 Kcal = -7300 cal = -7.3 Kcal. The Gibbs free energy change is -7.3 Kcal.

 Which of the following is NOT a state function?

    q + w
  • b)
    q
  • c)
    qrev/T
  • d)
    PV
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Nitin Sharma answered
A state function is the property of the system whose value depends only on the initial and final state of the system and is independent of the path. It is a state function because it is independent of the path. Heat (q) and work (W) are not state functions being path dependent.

Exactly 100 J of heat was transferred reversibly to a block of gold at 25.00° C from a thermal reservoir at 25.01 °C, and then exactly 100 J of heat was absorbed reversibled from the block of gold by a thermal reservoir at 24.99° C. Thus entropy change of the system is
  • a)
    0.335 JK-1
  • b)
    -0.33 JK-1
  • c)
    0.670 JK-1
  • d)
    0.00 JK-1
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Bhargavi Joshi answered
Explanation:

To find out the entropy change of the system, we need to use the formula:

ΔS = Q/T

where ΔS is the entropy change, Q is the amount of heat transferred, and T is the temperature at which the heat is transferred.

Given that 100 J of heat was transferred from a thermal reservoir at 25.01 C to a block of gold at 25.00 C, we can calculate the entropy change as follows:

ΔS1 = Q1/T1 = 100 J/298.16 K = 0.335 JK-1

where T1 = 25.01 C + 273.15 = 298.16 K

Similarly, when 100 J of heat was absorbed from the block of gold by a thermal reservoir at 24.99 C, we can calculate the entropy change as follows:

ΔS2 = Q2/T2 = -100 J/298.14 K = -0.335 JK-1

where T2 = 24.99 C + 273.15 = 298.14 K

Note that the negative sign in front of ΔS2 indicates that the process is reversible, which is consistent with the problem statement.

Therefore, the total entropy change of the system is:

ΔS = ΔS1 + ΔS2 = 0.335 JK-1 + (-0.335 JK-1) = 0.00 JK-1

Hence, the correct option is (c) 0.670 JK-1.

  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'A,B'. Can you explain this answer?

Upasana Roy answered
According to me, correct options are b and d.
For a reversible reaction, ∆S°(Universe) will be zero. ∆S°(Universe) is greater than zero for an irreversible reaction. SInce the randomness decreases, ∆S°(system) becomes less than zero and ∆S°(surrounding) becomes more than zero. BOth becomes equal with sign opposite and thus for reversible reaction, ∆S°(universe) = ∆S°(System) + ∆S°(surrounding) = 0

Passage l
Sulphur undergoes a phase transition between 80 and 110°C
S(rhombic) S (monoclinic); ΔH° = 3.213 kJ mol-1; ΔS° = 8.71 JK-1 mol-1
 
Q. Select the correct alternate(s).
  • a)
    At 80°C SR is as stable as SM 
  • b)
    At 80°C SR is less stable than SM
  • c)
    At 110°C SR is more stable than SM
  • d)
    At 110°C SR is less stable than SM
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

We have ∆G = ∆H - T∆S
For spontaneous reaction ∆G<0 and vice versa,
∆G at 80° C:-
3213 - (80+273)8.73 = 141.9 kJ mol-1
As it comes positive, the conversion of rhombic and monoclinic is non- spontaneous at 80° C.In other words, rhombic is more stable than monoclinic at this temperature.
∆G at 110° C:-
3213 - (110+273)8.73 = -119.1 kJ mol-1
As it comes positive, the conversion of rhombic and monoclinic is spontaneous at 110° C.In other words, rhombic is less stable than monoclinic at this temperature.
