MCQ ANSWER EXPLANATION

Enthalpy of combustion is the enthalpy change that takes place when one mole of a compound
1 b undergoes complete combustion in the presence of oxygen. It is represented by ΔHc, it is always
negative because the process of combustion is exothermic.
Given that C2H6(g) + 3 1/2 O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l) As we know that, ΔHr = Σ ΔHf[products] – Σ
2 a ΔHf[reactants]; ΔHc(C2H6) = 2 X (-393.5 kJ mol-1) + 3 X (-285.8 kJ mol-1) – (- 84.7 kJ mol-1) – 2 X (0 kJ
mol-1) = ΔHc(C2H6) = – 1559.7 kJ mol-1.
The enthalpy of atomization is an enthalpy change that occurs when one molecule of a molecule
3 c breaks into its atoms, but here the of a water molecule formation does not satisfy the definition of the
enthalpy of atomization.
By following the rule ΔHr = Σ ΔHf[products] – ∑ ΔHf[reactants], we get -(x + 4(412) + 432) + (348 +
4 d 6(412)) = -138 KJ/mol; x = 598 KJ/mol. So the carbon carbon double bond energy in Ethane is given
as 598 KJ per Mol.

Lattice enthalpy is the enthalpy change when one molecule of an ionic compound dissociates into its
5 a ions and gaseous state. Here sodium chloride is an ionic compound and it decomposes into sodium
and chloride ions, so the energy released is lattice energy.

An indirect method, in which we can construct an enthalpy diagram is called a Born-Haber cycle as it is
6 b nearly impossible to determine lattice enthalpies directly by experiment. It is an approach to analyze
reaction energies.

Enthalpy change when 1 mole of a substance is dissolved in a large excess of solvent so that on
7 a further delusion no appreciable heat change occurs, is known as enthalpy of solution. It can either be
positive or negative depending on the reaction, whether it is exothermic or endothermic.

Enthalpy of dilution is the enthalpy change when 1 mole of a substance is diluted from one
8 a concentration to another. So it is dependent on your original concentration of the solution and the
amount of solvent added.
It is the enthalpy change when one mole of ions dissolve in water to give a dilute solution. It is always
9 c negative.
Matter does not exchange with surroundings in a closed system and isn’t subject to any force whose
10 d source is external.
Temperature is an intensive property because it does not depend on the amount of the substance for
11 b which it is measure
The Adiabatic Compression of a gas causes a rise in temperature of a gas. Adiabatic Expansion
12 a against pressure, or a spring, causes a drop-in temperature.

Variables like pressure, volume and temperature are called state variables or state functions because
13 a their values depend only on the state of the system and not on how it is reached.

The enthalpy of vaporization states that, heat is given to any liquid substance at certain temperature,
14 a the liquid changes into gaseous form.
When the energy is exchanged between the system and the surrounding, it is exchanged as either
15 a heat or work. General equation: ΔE = q + w.
16 d Non-SI unit is still in widespread use: The Calorie (Cal). 1 Calorie = 4.184 J.
The change in entropy affects the reaction. In an Exothermic reaction, the entropy increases. In an
17 c Endothermic reaction, the entropy decreases.
State functions are used to specify the state of a thermodynamic system. The state is described by
18 d measurable macroscopic particles like pressure, temperature, volume, amount, etc and the is P, V and
T are called state variables.
When a work is done or by the system, heat passes into out of the system and matter enters or leaves
19 b the system, there is a change in internal energy of the system.

An open system allows the transfer of both mass and energy into the system from the surroundings.
20 c An example of an open system is the human body, we consume food, energy and excrete waste.

Energy of a substance is directly proportional to its temperature. the temperature increases slowly then
21 a the energy also increases slowly.
When a pressure P is exerted through a volume V the work done is given by P ΔV, so here pressure is
22 c 5 atm and volume is a 50-metre cube. The work that is done is 5 atm X 50-metre cube = 250 Newton
metre.
Force is defined as the product of pressure and the surface area so here as pressure is 3 atm and
23 a surface area is 10-metre square. The force that is applied equals 3 atm x 10-metre square = 30
Newton.
The expression for work done is given by pressure x volume difference, here an ideal gas has a
24 d volume difference of 4 litres at 5 ATM pressure. So the work done = 10 – 6 liters x 5atm = 20 Newton
metre
An intensive property does not depend on the quantity or size of the object, whereas extensive
25 b property depends on the quantity and size of the object. Here volume, enthalpy and internal energy are
extensive properties, while colour is an intensive property.
All the processes which occur with a decrease of energy are exothermic in nature, those with change
26 b of enthalpy as negative occurs spontaneously. It is not true in case of some endothermic reactions,
when they occur spontaneously.
Entropy is a measurement of randomness or disorder of molecules it is a state function as well as an
27 b extensive property. Its units are J/K-mole. Extensive property depends on the size and quantity of the
mass.
The energy that is available for a system at some conditions and by which useful work can be done is
28 a Gibbs free energy. The relation between Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, temperature and entropy is given
by Gibbs Helmholtz equation; G = H -TS.
A reaction is spontaneous if Gibbs free energy is less than zero and the reaction is nonspontaneous if
29 c the Gibbs free energy is greater than zero. The reaction is at equilibrium state if gives free energy is
equal to zero.
Rusting is spontaneous exothermal process .Melting of ice is a spontaneous endothermic process and
30 a the last two are non-spontaneous in nature.
