Thermodynamics
Option A: It claims that the standard state for a pure gas is defined at 1 bar and 273 K.
In modern thermochemistry, the standard state generally means the pure substance at 1 bar, but the standard temperature most commonly used is 298 K (25°C), not 273 K (0°C).
Thus, Option A is incorrect.
Option B: It states that the standard enthalpy of formation
is zero for
.
By convention, the standard enthalpy of formation for an element in its most stable form is defined as zero.
Even though typical tables list
values, if one were to evaluate the formation enthalpy at any temperature where the element remains in its standard state, the reaction
has no change in enthalpy. Therefore, by definition,
. This makes Option B correct. Option C: It claims that
is zero for
(atomic oxygen). However, the standard state of oxygen is diatomic
, not atomic oxygen. Since
is not the most stable form of oxygen under standard conditions, its formation enthalpy is not zero.
Hence, Option C is incorrect.
Option D: It asserts that the term "standard state" implies that the temperature is 0°C (273 K).
In fact, "standard state" typically specifies a standard pressure (1 bar) and a chosen temperature—commonly 298 K for tabulated thermodynamic data—not necessarily 0°C.
Thus, Option D is also incorrect.
To summarize: The only correct statement is Option B.
Therefore, the correct answer is: Option B.
For reaction to be spontaneous according to law:
Match with . }{\partial \mathrm{T}}\right)_{\mathrm{P}}$

| (B) | (I) | Cp | |
| (C) | (II) | S | |

We want to match each partial derivative in List–I to the appropriate thermodynamic quantity in List–II: 1.
A well-known thermodynamic identity is: Hence, 2.
By definition of the heat capacity at constant pressure, Hence, 3.
A standard thermodynamic relation (for a single‐component system) is: Hence, 4.
By definition of the heat capacity at constant volume, Hence, Final Matching Which corresponds to: Option C: (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III).
The correct choice is Option C: Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
Explanation: Statement I is true because During the ice–water phase change at 0 °C, any heat added goes into the latent heat of fusion.
The temperature remains fixed at 0 °C until all the ice has melted.
Statement II is also true because The heat absorbed at the melting point is used to overcome (break) the hydrogen‐bonding forces between water molecules in ice—in other words, it increases the system’s potential energy.
Since no heat goes into raising the kinetic energy of the molecules, the temperature (which measures average kinetic energy) does not increase during melting.
Mathematically, for a mass m of ice, the heat needed is
where is the latent heat of fusion of ice.
This heat does not change the temperature but is entirely consumed in changing the phase (i.e., increasing potential energy).

H < 0 is for exothermic reaction
Given (i) 2Fe2O3(s) 4Fe(s) + 3O2(g);
rGo = + 1487.0 kJ mol-1 (ii) 2CO(g) + O2(g) 2CO2(g);
rGo = 514.4 kJ mol-1 Multiply reaction (ii) with 3 and we get, (iii) 6CO(g) + 3O2 (g)
6CO2(g) ;
rGo = 3 514.4 = 1543.2 kJ mol1 Now add reaction (i) with (iii), we get 2Fe2O3(s) + 6CO(g)
4Fe(s) + 6CO2(g)
Free energy change of the reaction,
rGo = 1487.0 1543.2 = 56.2 kJ/mol
In reaction (i), the product is CO2 If we add reaction (ii) and (iii) we get, C + O2 CO2 here also product is CO2 from same reactant C and O2.
So according to hess law, we can say x = y + z
(graphite)
Enthalpy of formation of C2H6(g) = –86.0 kJ mol–1
The standard enthalpy change for the reaction
can be calculated using Hess's Law, which states that the total enthalpy change for a reaction is the same whether it occurs in one step or in many steps.
If we modify the given reactions to reflect the formation of CO, we can add the modified reactions together to get the reaction of interest.
Consider the reactions: (A)
(B)
First, divide reaction (A) by 2 to get the reaction for 1 mol of CO: (A/2)
Then, subtract the divided reaction (A) from reaction (B) to get the reaction for the formation of CO:
Therefore, the correct answer is Option A:
