Q63
For the chemical reaction X \rightleftharpoons Y, the standard reaction Gibbs energy depends on temperature T (in K) as Δ\Delta rGo (in kJ mol–1) = 120 38 - {3 \over 8} T. The major component of the reaction mixture at T is :
A Y if T = 300 K
B Y if T = 280 K
C X if T = 350 K
D X if T = 315 K
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

X \rightleftharpoons Y Keq =

[Y][X]{{\left[ Y \right]} \over {\left[ X \right]}}

If Keq > 1 \Rightarrow [Y] > [X] and Keq < 1 \Rightarrow [Y] < [X] We know,

Δ\Delta

Go = -RT ln(Keq) So when Keq > 1 then

Δ\Delta

Go < 0 and Y is major. And when Keq < 1 then

Δ\Delta

Go > 0 and X is major. Temperature at which Go = 0 is 120

38- {3 \over 8}

T = 0 \Rightarrow T = 320 K For T > 320 K

Δ\Delta

Go < 0 and Y is major. For T < 320 K

Δ\Delta

Go > 0 and X is major.

Q64
Two blocks of the same metal having same mass and at temperature T1 and T2, respectively, are brought in contact with each other and allowed to attain thermal equilibrium at constant pressure. The change in entropy, Δ\Delta S, for this process is :
A 2Cp In [(T1+T2)12T1T2]\left[ {{{{{\left( {{T_1} + {T_2}} \right)}^{{1 \over 2}}}} \over {{T_1}{T_2}}}} \right]
B 2Cp In [(T1+T2)2T1T2]\left[ {{{\left( {{T_1} + {T_2}} \right)} \over {2{T_1}{T_2}}}} \right]

Q65
For the equilibrium, 2H2O \rightleftharpoons H3O+ + OH-, the value of Δ\Delta Go at 298 K is approximately :
A - 80 kJ mol–1
B 100 kJ mol-1
C - 100 kJ mol-1
D 80 kJ mol–1
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

2H2O \rightleftharpoons H3O+ + OH- Here Keq = Kw(H2O) At 298 K, Kw(H2O) = 10-14 \therefore Keq = 10-14

Δ\Delta

Go = -RTln(Keq) = -RTln(Kw) = -2.303RT log (10-14) = -2.303 ×\times 8.314 ×\times 298 ×\times ×\times (-14) = 80 kJ/mol

Q66
The reaction, MgO(s) + C(s) \to Mg(s) + CO(g), for which Δ\Delta rHo + 491.1 kJ mol–1 and Δ\Delta rSo = 198.0 JK–1 mol–1, is not feasible at 298 K. Temperature above which reaciton will be feasible is :
A 2480.3 K
B 2040.5 K
C 2380.5 K
D 1890.0 K
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

We know,

So For a reaction to be spontaneous

Δ\Delta

Go must be negative i.e., T

Ho \Rightarrow T >

ΔHΔS{{\Delta H^\circ } \over {\Delta S^\circ }}

\Rightarrow T >

491.1×1000198{{491.1 \times 1000} \over {198}}

\Rightarrow T > 2480.3 K

The standard reaction Gibbs energy for a chemical reaction at an absolute temperature T is given by Δ\Delta rGo = A – BT Where A and B are non-zero constants. Which of the following is TRUE about this reaction?
A Exothermic if B < 0
B Endothermic if A > 0
C Exothermic if A > 0 and B < 0
D Endothermic if A < 0 and B > 0
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution
Δ\Delta

Go =

Δ\Delta

So Given that A and B are non-zero constants, i.e., A =

Δ\Delta

Ho, B =

Δ\Delta

So If

Δ\Delta

Ho is positive means reaction is endothermic.
