2.

3.

4.

5. Identify the state functions and path functions out of the following: enthalpy,
entropy, heat, temperature, work, free energy.
6. Predict the change in internal energy for an isolated system at constant
volume.
7. Although heat is a path function but heat absorbed by the system under
certain specific conditions is independent of path. What are those conditions?
Explain.
8. The enthalpy of reaction for the reaction:

What will be the standard

enthalpy of formation of H2O (l )?
9. Extensive properties depend on the quantity of matter but intensive
properties do not. Explain whether the following properties are extensive or
intensive.
Mass, internal energy, pressure, heat capacity, molar heat capacity, density,
mole fraction, specific heat, temperature and molarity.

10. The lattice enthalpy of an ionic compound is the enthalpy when one mole of
an ionic compound present in its gaseous state, dissociates into its ions. It is
impossible to determine it directly by experiment. Suggest and explain an
indirect method to measure lattice enthalpy of NaCl(s).
11. Predict in which of the following, entropy increases/decreases : (i) A liquid
crystallizes into a solid. (ii) Temperature of a crystalline solid is raised from 0 K
to 115 K
12.Discuss the effect of temperature on the spontaneity of the reaction.
13. What are the conditions for a reaction to be spontaneous.
14. State I, II and III law of thermodynamics.

Directions:
(a) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and
reason is correct explanation for assertion.
(b) Assertion and reason both are correct statements but
reason is not correct explanation for assertion.
(c) Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong
statement.
(d) Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct
statement.
Q.1. Assertion : Enthalpy of formation of graphite is zero but
of diamond it is not zero.
Reason : Enthalpy of formation of the most stable allotrope is
taken as zero.

Q.2. Assertion : Heat of neutralisation for both H2SO4 and HCl

with NaOH is 53.7 kJ mol –1.
Reason : Both HCl and H2SO4 are strong acids.
Q.3. Assertion : Some salts are sparingly soluble in water at
room temperature.
Reason : The entropy increases on dissolving the salts.
Q.4. Assertion : Spontaneous process is an irreversible
process and may be reversed by some external agency.
Reason : Decrease in enthalpy is a contributory factor for
spontaneity.
Q.5. Assertion : Decrease in free energy causes spontaneous
reaction.

Reason : Spontaneous reactions are invariable exothermic

reactions.

Q.6. Assertion : The heat absorbed during the isothermal

expansion of an ideal gas against vaccum is zero.

Reason : The volume occupied by the molecules of an ideal gas

is zero.

Q.7. Assertion : U is a state function.

Reason : T is an intensive property.
Q.8. Assertion : Entropy of system increases for a
spontaneous reaction.
Reason : Enthalpy of reaction always decreases for
spontaneous reaction.
Q.9. Assertion : Sublimation of the solid is nonspontaneous.
Reason : Sublimation is endothermic process.
Q.10. Assertion : The sum of q + w is a state function.
Reason : Work and heat are state functions.
