Test: Thermodynamics: Basic Concepts - Question 1

Direction (Q. Nos. 1-15) This section contains 15 multiple choice questions. Each question has four choices (a), (b), (c) and (d), out of which ONLY ONE option is correct.

Q. 
Assign the sign of work done (based on SI convention) in the following chemical changes taking place against external atmospheric pressure :


    

Detailed Solution: Question 1

Work done = - (change in moles) RT For work done positive change in moles negative and vice versa We only cosider the moles that are in gass phase.

Test: Thermodynamics: Basic Concepts - Question 2

For the following process, H2 (g) → 2 H(g), it absorbs 436 kJ mol-1. Thus,

Detailed Solution: Question 2

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.

Test: Thermodynamics: Basic Concepts - Question 3

Suppose the elements X and Y combine to form two compounds XY2 and X3Y2. When 0.1 mole of XY2 weighs 10 g and 0.05 mole of X3Y2 weighs 9 g, the atomic weights of X and Y are

Detailed Solution: Question 3

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

Test: Thermodynamics: Basic Concepts - Question 4

Five moles of an ideal gas at 27° C are allowed to expand isothermally from an initial pressure of 10.0 atm to a final pressure of 4.0 atm against a constant external pressure of 1.0 atm. Thus, work done will be

Detailed Solution: Question 4

Work done during isothermal irreversible process is given by the formula w = -pext (nrt/p2-nrt/p1)

Test: Thermodynamics: Basic Concepts - Question 5

56 g of iron reacts with dilute H2SO4 at 27° C . W ork done (in cals) in

I. closed vessel of fixed volume and
II. an open vessel is

    

Detailed Solution: Question 5

Use ∆H=∆U+∆NgRT FOR 1. we need to find work done in constant volume that is ∆U which will be 0 as it is nCv∆T and since ∆T is zero so ∆U is zero .
For 2. we need to Find ∆H =∆U+∆NgRT Since ∆U is zero so∆H=∆NgRT 
R=2 T =300and ∆Ng is = -1

Test: Thermodynamics: Basic Concepts - Question 6

Consider the following properties. 

    

Select intensive and extensive properties.

Detailed Solution: Question 6

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.

Test: Thermodynamics: Basic Concepts - Question 7

Consider the following properties. 

State functions are 

[IITJEE2009]

Detailed Solution: Question 7

Correct answer: D.

A state function is a property whose value depends only on the current state of the system and not on the path taken to reach that state.

Internal energy (I), Entropy (II), Free energy (III) and Enthalpy (IV) are all state functions because their values are determined by the state variables (for example, temperature, pressure, volume, composition) and do not depend on the process path.

Work is a path function; its magnitude depends on the process by which the change is carried out. Therefore both irreversible expansion work (V) and reversible expansion work (VI) are path functions and are not state functions.

Because only I, II, III, IV are state functions, the correct choice is option D.

Test: Thermodynamics: Basic Concepts - Question 8

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]

Detailed Solution: Question 8

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

Test: Thermodynamics: Basic Concepts - Question 9

One mole of an ideal gas is put through a series of changes as shown in the figure in which 1,2,3 mark the three stages of the system. Pressure at the stages 1, 2, and 3 respectively will be (in bar)

   

Detailed Solution: Question 9

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 most closest answer is option d

Test: Thermodynamics: Basic Concepts - Question 10

An ideal gas expands in volume from 1 × 10–3m3 to 1 × 10–2m3 at 300K against a constant pressure of 1 × 105Nm–2. The work done is

[AIEEE 2004]

Detailed Solution: Question 10

Test: Thermodynamics: Basic Concepts - Question 11

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

Detailed Solution: Question 11

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.

Test: Thermodynamics: Basic Concepts - Question 12

Bond energy of (N— H)bond is x kJ mol-1 under standard state. Thus, change in internal energy in the following process is

Detailed Solution: Question 12

The correct answer is Option B.
 
H−N−H (three N-H) bonds
     ∣
    H
Thus, ΔE=3xKJmol-1

Test: Thermodynamics: Basic Concepts - Question 13

Temperature of one mole of helium gas is increased by 2°. Thus, increase in internal energy is

Detailed Solution: Question 13

∆U = nfRT/2
Since He is monoatomic, so f(degree of freedom) = 3
∆U = 3×1×2×2/2   (We have taken R = 2 cal K-1 mol -1)
= 6 cal

Test: Thermodynamics: Basic Concepts - Question 14

The internal energy change when a system goes from state A to B is 40kJ/mole. If the system goes from A to B by a reversible path and returns to state A by an irreversible path what would be the net change in internal energy?

Detailed Solution: Question 14


We know that for a cyclic process the net change in internal energy is equal to zero and change in the internal energy does not depend on the path by which the final state is reached.

Test: Thermodynamics: Basic Concepts - Question 15

The density of ice at 0°C is 0.915 g cm-3 and that of liquid water at 0°C is 1.0 g cm-3. Work done for melting 1 mole of ice at 1.00 bar is

Test: Thermodynamics: Basic Concepts - Question 16

Direction (Q. Nos. 16 - 18) This section contains 3 questions. when worked out will result in an integer from 0 to 9 (both inclusive).

Q. Temperature of one mole of an ideal gas is increased by 1° at constant pressure. What is mechanical work done (in cals)?


Detailed Solution: Question 16

From ideal gas equation 
PV=nRT 
hence PV=W
W = nR∆T 
W = 1×2×1 = 2cal

*Answer can only contain numeric values
Test: Thermodynamics: Basic Concepts - Question 17

A sample of gas changes from p1 V1 and T1, to p2, V2 and T2 by one path and then back to  and T1, by another path. How many of the following must be zero for the gas in this cycle?


Detailed Solution: Question 17

∆T, ∆p, ∆V and ∆U = 0 (also they are state function)
∆U = q+w. So, q and w are not zero.
Hence we have 4 parameters equal to zero after the whole process.

*Answer can only contain numeric values
Test: Thermodynamics: Basic Concepts - Question 18

What will be the temperature change of 1.00 mole of CH3OH(g) if 100 J of heat is added to it under constant volume conditions?


Detailed Solution: Question 18

For heat added at constant volume, Work doe = 0
∆U = T1T2 nCv,mdT
Or ∆U = nCv,m∆T
∆T = ∆U/nCv,m = 100/1×33.33 = 3
So, the correct answer is 3
