Q11
A vessel contains 3.2 g of dioxygen gas at STP (273.15 K and 1 atm pressure). The gas is now transferred to another vessel at constant temperature, where pressure becomes one third of the original pressure. The volume of new vessel in L is : (Given : molar volume at STP is 22.4 L)
A 67.2
B 6.72
C 2.24
D 22.4
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

At constant temperature and amount

P1V1=P2V2{P_1}{V_1} = {P_2}{V_2}
P1V1=P13V2{P_1}{V_1} = {{{P_1}} \over 3}{V_2}

[\therefore

P2=P13{P_2} = {{{P_1}} \over 3}

]

V2=3V1{V_2} = 3{V_1}

mole of

O2(g)=3.232=0.1{O_2}(g) = {{3.2} \over {32}} = 0.1

mole Volume of

O2(g)=(0.1×22.4){O_2}(g) = (0.1 \times 22.4)

L = 2.24 L At STP (V 1 )

V2=3V1=3×2.24{V_2} = 3{V_1} = 3 \times 2.24

= 6.72 L

Q15
For the reaction, 2Cl(g) \to Cl 2 (g), the correct option is :
A ΔrH>0{\Delta _r}H > 0 and ΔrS<0{\Delta _r}S < 0
B ΔrH<0{\Delta _r}H < 0 and ΔrS>0{\Delta _r}S > 0
C ΔrH<0{\Delta _r}H < 0 and ΔrS<0{\Delta _r}S < 0
D ΔrH>0{\Delta _r}H > 0 and ΔrS>0{\Delta _r}S > 0
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Given reaction, 2Cl(g)\toCl 2 (g) This is an endothermic reaction because it requires energy to break bonds.

So, the reverse reaction is exothermic

ΔrH<0{\Delta _r}H < 0

Also, two gaseous atoms combine together to form 1 gaseous molecule. So, the randomness,

ΔrS<0{\Delta _r}S < 0
Q16
The correct option for free expansion of an ideal gas under adiabatic condition is :
A q = 0, Δ\Delta T < 0 and w > 0
B q < 0, Δ\Delta T = 0 and w = 0
C q > 0, Δ\Delta T > 0 and w > 0
D q = 0, Δ\Delta T = 0 and w = 0
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Free expansion, so p ex = 0 So, w = - p ex

Δ\Delta

V = 0 Since, adiabatic process, so q = 0 Since both q and w are equal to zero.

Then according to first law of thermodynamics

Δ\Delta

E = q + w

Δ\Delta

U = 0 Hence,

Δ\Delta

T = 0

Q17
In which case change in entropy is negative?
A Sublimation of solid to gas
B 2H(g) \to H 2 (g)
C Evaporation of water
D Expansion of a gas at temperature
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

2H(g) \to H 2 (g) Due to bond formation, entropy decreases.

Q18
Under isothermal condition, a gas at 300 K expands from 0.1 L to 0.25 L against a constant external pressure of 2 bar. The work done by the gas is [Given that 1 L bar = 100 J]
A 25 J
B 30 J
C -30 J
D 5 kJ
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

W = –P ext (V 2 –V 1 ) P ext = 2 bar V 1 = 0.1 L V 2 = 0.25 L W = –2 bar[0.25 – 0.1] L W = –2 × 0.15 bar L W = –0.30 bar L W = (–0.30) × 100 = –30 J

Q19
The bond dissociation energies of X 2 , Y 2 and XY are in the ratio of 1 : 0.5 : 1. Δ\Delta H for the formation of XY is –200 kJ mol –1 . The bond dissociation energy of X 2 will be
A 800 kJ mol –1
B 200 kJ mol –1
C 400 kJ mol –1
D 100 kJ mol –1
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Let bond dissociation energies of X 2 , Y 2 and XY are x kJ mol –1 , 0.5x kJ mol –1 and x kJ mol –1 respectively.

12{1 \over 2}

X 2 +

12{1 \over 2}

Y 2 \to XY;

Δ\Delta

H = -200 kJ mol -1

Δ\Delta

H = Σ(B.E) Reactant - Σ(B.E) Product \Rightarrow -200 =

[12×x+12×0.5x]\left[ {{1 \over 2} \times x + {1 \over 2} \times 0.5x} \right]

-

[1×x]\left[ {1 \times x} \right]

On solving, x = 800 kJ mol –1

Q20
A gas is allowed to expand in a well insulated container against a constant external pressure of 2.5 atm from an initial volume of 2.50 L to a final volume of 4.50 L. The change in internal energy Δ\Delta U of the gas in joules will be
A - 500 J
B - 505 J
C + 505 J
D 1136.25 J
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

w = - P ext

Δ\Delta

V = -2.5(4.50 - 2.50) \Rightarrow - 5 L atm = - 5 ×\times 1.01.325 J = - 506.625 J

Δ\Delta

U = q + w As, the container is insulted, thus q = 0 Hence,

Δ\Delta

U = w = -506.625 J
