Q92
The correct statement amongst the following is :
A The standard state of a pure gas is the pure gas at a pressure of 1 bar and temperature 273 K.
B ΔfH500\Delta_f H^{\circ}_{500} is zero for O2(g)O_2(g).
C ΔfH298\Delta_f H^{\circ}_{298} is zero for O(g)O(g).
D The term 'standard state' implies that the temperature is 0°C.
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

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

ΔfH500\Delta_f H^\circ_{500}

is zero for

O2(g)O_2(g)

.

By convention, the standard enthalpy of formation for an element in its most stable form is defined as zero.

Even though typical tables list

ΔfH298\Delta_f H^\circ_{298}

values, if one were to evaluate the formation enthalpy at any temperature where the element remains in its standard state, the reaction

O2(g)O2(g)O_2(g) \rightarrow O_2(g)

has no change in enthalpy. Therefore, by definition,

ΔfH500(O2(g))=0\Delta_f H^\circ_{500}(O_2(g)) = 0

. This makes Option B correct. Option C: It claims that

ΔfH298\Delta_f H^\circ_{298}

is zero for

O(g)O(g)

(atomic oxygen). However, the standard state of oxygen is diatomic

O2(g)O_2(g)

, not atomic oxygen. Since

O(g)O(g)

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.

Solution

We want to match each partial derivative in List–I to the appropriate thermodynamic quantity in List–II: 1.

(GT)P\displaystyle\left(\dfrac{\partial G}{\partial T}\right)_{P} A well-known thermodynamic identity is: (GT)P  =  S. \left(\dfrac{\partial G}{\partial T}\right)_{P} \;=\; -S. Hence, (A)S(II). (A) \quad \longrightarrow \quad -S \quad (\text{II}). 2.

(HT)P\displaystyle\left(\dfrac{\partial H}{\partial T}\right)_{P} By definition of the heat capacity at constant pressure, (HT)P  =  CP. \left(\dfrac{\partial H}{\partial T}\right)_{P} \;=\; C_P. Hence, (B)CP(I). (B) \quad \longrightarrow \quad C_P \quad (\text{I}). 3.

(GP)T\displaystyle\left(\dfrac{\partial G}{\partial P}\right)_{T} A standard thermodynamic relation (for a single‐component system) is: (GP)T  =  V. \left(\dfrac{\partial G}{\partial P}\right)_{T} \;=\; V. Hence, (C)V(IV). (C) \quad \longrightarrow \quad V \quad (\text{IV}). 4.

(UT)V\displaystyle\left(\dfrac{\partial U}{\partial T}\right)_{V} By definition of the heat capacity at constant volume, (UT)V  =  CV. \left(\dfrac{\partial U}{\partial T}\right)_{V} \;=\; C_V. Hence, (D)CV(III). (D) \quad \longrightarrow \quad C_V \quad (\text{III}). Final Matching (A)(II),(B)(I),(C)(IV),(D)(III). (A) \to \text{(II)}, \quad (B) \to \text{(I)}, \quad (C) \to \text{(IV)}, \quad (D) \to \text{(III)}. Which corresponds to: Option C: (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III).

Q95
Given below are two statements: Statement I : When a system containing ice in equilibrium with water (liquid) is heated, heat is absorbed by the system and there is no change in the temperature of the system until whole ice gets melted. Statement II : At melting point of ice, there is absorption of heat in order to overcome intermolecular forces of attraction within the molecules of water in ice and kinetic energy of molecules is not increased at melting point. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
A Both Statement I and Statement II are false
B Statement I is true but Statement II is false
C Both Statement I and Statement II are true
D Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

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

Q=mLfQ = m\,L_f

where LfL_f 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).

A z = x + y
B x = y + z

In reaction (i), the product is CO2 If we add reaction (ii) and (iii) we get, C + O2 \to CO2 here also product is CO2 from same reactant C and O2.

So according to hess law, we can say x = y + z

B x+2y2\dfrac{x+2y}{2}
C 2yx2y-x
D 2xy2\dfrac{2x-y}{2}
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

The standard enthalpy change for the reaction

C(graphite)+12O2(g)CO(g)\mathrm{C(graphite)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\to CO(g)}

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)

2CO(g)+O2(g)2CO2(g)ΔH10=x kJ mol1\mathrm{2CO(g)+O_2(g)\to 2CO_2(g)} \quad \Delta H_1^0=-x~kJ~mol^{-1}

(B)

C(graphite)+O2(g)CO2(g)ΔH20=y kJ mol1\mathrm{C(graphite)+O_2(g)\to CO_2(g)} \quad \Delta H_2^0=-y~kJ~mol^{-1}

First, divide reaction (A) by 2 to get the reaction for 1 mol of CO: (A/2)

CO(g)+12O2(g)CO2(g)ΔH10=x2 kJ mol1\mathrm{CO(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\to CO_2(g)} \quad \Delta H_1^0=-\frac{x}{2}~kJ~mol^{-1}

Then, subtract the divided reaction (A) from reaction (B) to get the reaction for the formation of CO:

C(graphite)+12O2(g)CO(g)\mathrm{C(graphite)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\to CO(g)}
ΔH0=ΔH20ΔH10=y(x2)=x2y kJ mol1\Delta H^0=\Delta H_2^0-\Delta H_1^0=-y-(-\frac{x}{2})= \frac{x}{2} - y~kJ~mol^{-1}

Therefore, the correct answer is Option A:
