NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Chemistry Chapter- 5 Thermodynamics

1. Choose the Correct Answer. a Thermodynamic State Function Is a Quantity 

(i) used to determine heat changes 

(ii) whose value is independent of path 

(iii) used to determine pressure volume work 

(iv) Whose value depends on temperature only. 

Ans: A thermodynamic state function is a quantity whose value is independent of the path. Functions like p, V, T etc. depend only on the state of a system and not on the path. 

Hence, alternative (ii) is correct. 

2. For the Process to Occur Under Adiabatic Conditions, the Correct Condition Is: 

(i) $\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ T=0}$ 

(ii) $\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ p=0}$ 

(iii) $\text{q=0}$ 

(iv) $\text{w=0}$ 

Ans: A system is said to be under adiabatic conditions if there is zero exchange of heat between the system and its surroundings. Hence, under adiabatic conditions, $q=0$. Therefore, alternative (iii) is correct. 

3. The Enthalpies of All Elements in Their Standard States Are: 

(i) unity 

(ii) zero 

(iii) < 0 

(iv) different for each element 

Ans: The enthalpy of all elements in their standard state is zero. Therefore, alternative (ii) is correct.

4. $\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }{{\text{U}}^{\text{ }\!\!\theta\!\!\text{ }}}$ of combustion of methane is $\text{-X}\,\text{kJ mo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}$. The value of $\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }{{\text{H}}^{\theta }}$is 

(i) = $\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }{{\text{U}}^{\text{ }\!\!\theta\!\!\text{ }}}$

(ii) > $\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }{{\text{U}}^{\text{ }\!\!\theta\!\!\text{ }}}$ 

(iii) < $\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }{{\text{U}}^{\text{ }\!\!\theta\!\!\text{ }}}$ 

(iv) = 0 

Ans: Since 

\[\Delta {{H}^{\theta }}\text{ }=\text{ }\Delta {{U}^{\theta }}\text{ }+\text{ }\Delta {{n}_{g}}RT\] and\[\Delta {{U}^{\theta }}=-X\,kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\], 

\[\Delta {{H}^{\theta }}\text{ }=\text{ }(-X)\text{ }+\text{ }\Delta {{n}_{g}}RT\]

\[\Rightarrow \Delta {{H}^{\theta }}<\Delta {{U}^{\theta }}\]

Therefore, alternative (iii) is correct.

5. The enthalpy of combustion of methane, graphite and dihydrogen at 298 K are, -890.3 $\text{kJ mo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}$ ,-393.5 $\text{kJ mo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}$, and -285.8 $\text{kJ mo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}$ respectively. Enthalpy of formation of $\text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}}\text{(g)}$ will be 

(i) -74.8 $\text{kJ mo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}$

(ii) -52.27 $\text{kJ mo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}$  

(iii) +74.8 $\text{kJ mo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}$

(iv) +52.26 $\text{kJ mo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}$  . 

Ans: According to the question, 

(i) $C{{H}_{4}}(g)+2{{O}_{2}}(g)\to C{{O}_{2}}(g)+2{{H}_{2}}O(l);{{\Delta }_{c}}{{H}^{\Theta }}=-890.3\,kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}$ 

(ii) $C(s)+2{{O}_{2}}(g)\to C{{O}_{2}}(g);{{\Delta }_{c}}{{H}^{\Theta }}=-393.5\,kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}$ 

(iii) $2{{H}_{2}}(g)+{{O}_{2}}(g)\to 2{{H}_{2}}O(l);{{\Delta }_{c}}{{H}^{\Theta }}=-285.8\,kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}$ 

Thus, the desired equation is the one that represents the formation of $C{{H}_{4}}(g)$that is as follows:

\[C(s)+2{{H}_{2}}(g)\to C{{H}_{4}}(g);{{\Delta }_{f}}{{H}_{C{{H}_{4}}}}={{\Delta }_{c}}{{H}_{c}}+2{{\Delta }_{c}}{{H}_{{{H}_{2}}}}-{{\Delta }_{c}}{{H}_{C{{O}_{2}}}}\]

Substituting the values in the above formula :

Enthalpy of formation$C{{H}_{4}}(g)$=$(-393.5)+2\times (-285.8)-(-890.3)=-74.8kJmo{{l}^{-1}}$ 

Therefore, alternative (i) is correct.

6. A Reaction, $\text{A + B }\to \text{C + D + q}$ is Found to Have a Positive Entropy Change. The Reaction Will Be 

(i) possible at high temperature 

(ii) possible only at low temperature 

(iii) not possible at any temperature 

(iv) possible at any temperature 

Ans: For a reaction to be spontaneous, $\Delta G$ should be negative $\Delta G\text{ }=\text{ }\Delta H\text{ }-\text{ }T\Delta S$ 

According to the question, for the given reaction, 

$\Delta S\text{ }=$ positive 

$\Delta H=$ negative (since heat is evolved) 

That results in $\Delta G=$ negative

Therefore, the reaction is spontaneous at any temperature. 

Hence, alternative (iv) is correct. 

7. In a Process, 701 J of Heat is Absorbed by a System and 394 J of Work is Done by the System. What is the Change in Internal Energy for the Process? 

Ans: According to the first law of thermodynamics, 

\[\Delta U=\text{ }q\text{ }+\text{ }W....(i)\] 

Where, 

$\Delta U$ = change in internal energy for a process 

q = heat 

W = work 

Given, 

q = + 701 J (Since heat is absorbed) 

W = -394 J (Since work is done by the system)

Substituting the values in expression (i), we get 

\[\Delta U=\text{ }701\text{ }J\text{ }+\text{ }\left( -394\text{ }J \right)\] 

\[\Delta U=\text{ }307\text{ }J\] 

Hence, the change in internal energy for the given process is 307 J.

8.The reaction of cyanamide, $\mathbf{N}{{\mathbf{H}}_{2}}\mathbf{CN}\left( \mathbf{s} \right)$ with dioxygen was carried out in a bomb calorimeter and $\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ U}$ was found to be -742.7 $\mathbf{KJ}\text{ }\mathbf{mo}{{\mathbf{l}}^{-1}}$ at 298 K. Calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction at 298 K. 

\[\text{N}{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}}\text{C}{{\text{N}}_{\text{(g)}}}\text{+}\frac{\text{3}}{\text{2}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}_{\text{(g)}}\to {{\text{N}}_{\text{2(g)}}}\text{+C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2(g)}}}\text{+}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{(l)}}}\] 

Ans: Enthalpy change for a reaction $\left( \Delta H \right)$ is given by the expression, 

\[\Delta H\text{ }=\text{ }\Delta U\text{ }+\text{ }\Delta {{n}_{g}}RT\] 

Where, 

$\Delta U$ = change in internal energy 

$\Delta {{n}_{g}}$ = change in number of moles 

For the given reaction, 

$\Delta {{n}_{g}}=\sum{{{n}_{g}}}$ (products) - $\sum{{{n}_{g}}}$(reactants)

$\Delta {{n}_{g}}=(2-1.5)$moles

$\Delta {{n}_{g}}=+0.5$moles

And, $\Delta U$= -742.7 $kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}$ 

T = 298 K 

R = $8.314\times {{10}^{-3}}\,kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}{{K}^{-1}}$

Substituting the values in the expression of $\Delta H\text{ }$

\[\Delta H\text{ }=\text{ }\left( -742.7\text{ }kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}} \right)\text{ }+\text{ }\left( +0.5\text{ }mol \right)\text{ }\left( 298\text{ }K \right)8.314\times {{10}^{-3}}kJmo{{l}^{-1}}{{K}^{-1}}\] 

$\Delta H\text{ }$ = -742.7 + 1.2 

\[\Delta H\text{ }=\text{ }-741.5kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\] 

9. Calculate the number of kJ of heat necessary to raise the temperature of 60 g of aluminium from $\mathbf{35}{}^\circ C$ to $\text{55 }\!\!{}^\circ\!\!\text{ C}$. Molar heat capacity of Al is $\text{24J mo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}{{\text{K}}^{\text{-1}}}$. 

Ans: From the expression of heat (q), 

\[q\text{ }=\text{ }m.\text{ }c.\text{ }\Delta T\] 

Where, 

c = molar heat capacity 

m = mass of substance 

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature 

Given, 

m = 60 g

c = $24J\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}{{K}^{-1}}$

\[Delta T=\left( 55-35 \right){}^\circ C\]

\[\Delta T=\left( 328-308 \right)K=20K\]

Substituting the values in the expression of heat:

\[q=\left( \frac{60}{27}mol \right)\left( 24\,Jmo{{l}^{-1}}{{K}^{-1}} \right)\left( 20K \right)\] 

q = 1066.7 J

q = 1.07 kJ

10. Calculate the enthalpy change on freezing of 1.0 mol of water at $\text{10}\text{.0 }\!\!{}^\circ\!\!\text{ C}$  to ice at $\text{-10}\text{.0 }\!\!{}^\circ\!\!\text{ C}$, ${{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}_{\text{fus}}}\text{H = 6}\text{.03 KJ mo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}$  at $\text{0 }\!\!{}^\circ\!\!\text{ C}$.

\[\text{ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ }{{\text{C}}_{\text{p}}}\text{ }\left[ {{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\text{O}\left( \text{l} \right)\text{ } \right]\text{ = 75}\text{.3 J mo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}\text{ }{{\text{K}}^{\text{-1}}}\]  

\[\text{ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ }{{\text{C}}_{\text{p}}}\text{ }\left[ {{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\text{O}\left( \text{s} \right)\text{ } \right]\text{ = 36}\text{.8 J mo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}\text{ }{{\text{K}}^{\text{-1}}}\] .

Ans: Total enthalpy change involved in the transformation is the sum of the following changes: 

1. Energy change involved in the transformation of 1 mol of water at $10.0{}^\circ C$  to 1mol of water at$0{}^\circ C$.

2. Energy change involved in the transformation of 1 mol of water at $0{}^\circ C$to 1 mol of ice at $0{}^\circ C$. 

3. Energy change involved in the transformation of 1 mol of ice at $0{}^\circ C$ to 1 mol of ice at $10{}^\circ C$. 

Total $\Delta H=~{{C}_{p}}\text{ }\left[ {{H}_{2}}O\left( l \right) \right]\text{ }\Delta T+\Delta {{H}_{freezing}}+~{{C}_{p}}\text{ }\left[ {{H}_{2}}O\left( s \right) \right]\text{ }\Delta T$ 

\[\Delta H=\left( 75.3\text{ }Jmo{{l}^{-1}}{{K}^{-1}} \right)\left( 0-10 \right)K+\left( -6.03\times {{10}^{3}}Jmo{{l}^{-1}} \right)+\left( 36.8\text{ }Jmo{{l}^{-1}}{{K}^{-1}} \right)\left( -10-0 \right)K\]

\[\Delta H=\text{ }-753\text{ }J\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\text{ }-\text{ }6030\text{ }J\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\text{ }-\text{ }368\text{ }J\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\] 

\[\Delta H=\text{ }-7151\text{ }J\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\] 

\[\Delta H=\text{ }-7.151\text{ }kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\] 

Hence, the enthalpy change involved in the transformation is $\text{ }-7.151\text{ }kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}$ 

11. Enthalpy of combustion of carbon to carbon dioxide is $-\mathbf{393}.\mathbf{5}\text{ }\mathbf{kJ}\text{ }\mathbf{mo}{{\mathbf{l}}^{-1}}$ Calculate the heat released upon formation of 35.2 g of $\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}$ from carbon and dioxygen gas. 

Ans: Formation of $C{{O}_{2}}$ from carbon and dioxygen gas can be represented as 

\[{{C}_{(s)}}+{{O}_{2(g)}}\ to C{{O}_{2(g)}}; \Delta H=-393.5kJ,mo{{l}^{-1}}\] (1mole=44g) 

Heat released in the formation of 44 g of $C{{O}_{2}}$ = 393.5 $kJ mol{{l}^{-1}}$ 

Heat released in the formation of 35.2 g of 

$C{{O}_{2}}=(393.5kJ)\times \frac{(35.2g)}{(44g)}=314.8\,kJ$

So, heat released upon formation of 35.2 g of $\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}$from carbon and dioxygen gas is 314.8 kJ.

12. Enthalpies of formation of CO (g),$\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\text{(g)}$, ${{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}}\text{O(g)}$ and ${{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\text{(g)}$are -110 ,-393, 81 kJ and 9.7 $\mathbf{kJ}\text{ }\mathbf{mo}{{\mathbf{l}}^{\text{-1}}}$ respectively. Find the value of${{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}_{\text{r}}}\text{H}$for the reaction: 

\[{{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4(g)}}}\text{+3C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{(g)}}}\to {{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{(g)}}}\text{+3C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2(g)}}}\] 

Ans: ${{\Delta }_{r}}H$ for a reaction is defined as the difference between ${{\Delta }_{f}}H$value of products and ${{\Delta }_{f}}H$value of reactants. 

${{\Delta }_{r}}H$= $\sum{{{\Delta }_{f}}H}$ (product) - $\sum{{{\Delta }_{f}}H}$(reactant)

For the given reaction, 

\[{{N}_{2}}{{O}_{4(g)}}+3C{{O}_{(g)}}\to {{N}_{2}}{{O}_{(g)}}+3C{{O}_{2(g)}}\] 

${{\Delta }_{r}}H=\left[ \left\{ {{\Delta }_{f}}H(N{{O}_{2}})+3{{\Delta }_{f}}H(C{{O}_{2}}) \right\}-\left\{ {{\Delta }_{f}}H({{N}_{2}}O)+3{{\Delta }_{f}}H(CO) \right\} \right]$ 

Substituting the values of ${{\Delta }_{f}}H$for CO (g),$C{{O}_{2}}(g)$, ${{N}_{2}}O(g)$ and ${{N}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}(g)$from the question, we get: 

\[{{\Delta }_{r}}H=\left[ \left\{ 81kJmo{{l}^{-1}}+3(-393)kJmo{{l}^{-1}} \right\}-\left\{ 9.7kJmo{{l}^{-1}}+3(-110)kJmo{{l}^{-1}} \right\} \right]\] 

\[{{\Delta }_{r}}H=-777.7kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\] 

Hence, the value of ${{\Delta }_{r}}H$ for the reaction is $-777.7kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}$

13. Given 

\[{{\text{N}}_{\text{2(g)}}}\text{+3}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2(g)}}}\to \text{2N}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3(g)}}}\text{;}{{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}_{\text{r}}}{{\text{H}}^{\text{ }\!\!\theta\!\!\text{ }}}\text{=}\,\text{-92}\text{.4kJ}\,\text{mo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}\] 

What is the standard enthalpy of formation of $\text{N}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}$ gas?

Ans: Standard enthalpy of formation of a compound is the change in enthalpy that takes place during the formation of 1 mole of a substance in its standard form from its constituent elements in their standard state. 

Re-writing the given equation for 1 mole of $N{{H}_{3}}(g)$is as follows:

\[\frac{1}{2}{{N}_{2(g)}}+\frac{3}{2}{{H}_{2(g)}}\to 2N{{H}_{3(g)}}\] 

Therefore, standard enthalpy of formation of $N{{H}_{3}}(g)$

= ${}^{1}/{}_{2}{{\Delta }_{r}}{{H}^{\theta }}$ 

\[{}^{1}/{}_{2}\text{ }\left( -92.4\text{ }kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}} \right)\] 

 \[-46.2\text{ }kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\] 

14. Calculate the standard enthalpy of formation of $\text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\text{OH(}\ell \text{)}$ from the following data: 

\[\text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\text{O}{{\text{H}}_{\text{(l)}}}\text{+}\frac{\text{3}}{\text{2}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2(g)}}}\to \text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2(g)}}}\text{+2}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{(l)}}}\text{,}{{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}_{\text{r}}}{{\text{H}}^{\text{ }\!\!\theta\!\!\text{ }}}\text{=-726 }\!\!~\!\!\text{ kJ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ mo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}\] 

\[{{\text{C}}_{\text{(g)}}}\text{+}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2(g)}}}\to \text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2(g)}}}\text{;}{{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}_{\text{c}}}{{\text{H}}^{\text{ }\!\!\theta\!\!\text{ }}}\text{=-393 }\!\!~\!\!\text{ kJ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ mo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}\] 

\[{{\text{H}}_{\text{2(g)}}}\text{+}\frac{\text{1}}{\text{2}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2(g)}}}\to {{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{(l)}}}\text{;}{{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}_{\text{f}}}{{\text{H}}^{\text{ }\!\!\theta\!\!\text{ }}}\text{=-286kJ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ mo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}\] 

Ans: The reaction that takes place during the formation of $C{{H}_{3}}OH(\ell )$can be written as: 

\[C(s)+2{{H}_{2}}O(g)+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}(g)\to C{{H}_{3}}OH(\ell )\,\,\,\,\,(1)\] 

The reaction (1) can be obtained from the given reactions by following the algebraic calculations as: 

Equation (ii) + 2 $\times $ equation (iii) - equation (i) 

\[{{\Delta }_{f}}{{H}^{\theta }}\left[ C{{H}_{3}}OH(\ell ) \right]={{\Delta }_{c}}{{H}^{\theta }}+2{{\Delta }_{f}}{{H}^{\theta }}[{{H}_{2}}O(l)]-{{\Delta }_{r}}{{H}^{\theta }}\] = (-393$kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}$ ) + 2(-286 $kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}$) - (-726 $kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}$) 

= (-393 - 572 + 726) $kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}$

Therefore, ${{\Delta }_{f}}{{H}^{\theta }}\left[ C{{H}_{3}}OH(\ell ) \right]=-239~kJmo{{l}^{-1}}$ 

15. Calculate the Enthalpy Change for the Process 

$\text{CC}{{\text{l}}_{\text{4}}}\left( \text{g} \right)\text{ }\to \text{ C}\left( \text{g} \right)\text{ + 4Cl}\left( \text{g} \right)$

and calculate bond enthalpy of C-Cl in $\text{CC}{{\text{l}}_{\text{4}}}\left( \text{g} \right)$.

\[{{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}_{\text{vap }}}{{\text{H}}^{\text{ }\!\!\theta\!\!\text{ }}}\text{(CC}{{\text{l}}_{\text{4}}}\text{)=30}\text{.5 }\!\!~\!\!\text{ kJmo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}\]

\[{{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}_{f}}{{\text{H}}^{\text{ }\!\!\theta\!\!\text{ }}}\text{(CC}{{\text{l}}_{\text{4}}}\text{)=-135}\text{.5 }\!\!~\!\!\text{ kJmo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}\] 

\[{{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}_{a}}{{\text{H}}^{\text{ }\!\!\theta\!\!\text{ }}}\text{(C)=715}\text{.0 }\!\!~\!\!\text{ kJmo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}\] where, ${{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}_{a}}{{\text{H}}^{\text{ }\!\!\theta\!\!\text{ }}}$ is enthalpy of atomization

${{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}_{a}}{{\text{H}}^{\text{ }\!\!\theta\!\!\text{ }}}\text{(C}{{\text{l}}_{2}}\text{)=242 }\!\!~\!\!\text{ kJmo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}$ 

Ans: The chemical equations implying to the given values of enthalpies are: 

1. $C{{C}_{4(l)}}\to CC{{l}_{4(g)}}{{\Delta }_{vap}}{{H}^{\theta }}=30.5kJmo{{l}^{-1}}$ 

2. ${{C}_{(s)}}\to {{C}_{(g)}}{{\Delta }_{a}}{{H}^{\theta }}=715.0~kJ~mo{{l}^{-1}}$ 

3. $C{{l}_{2(g)}}\to 2C{{l}_{(g)}}{{\Delta }_{a}}{{H}^{\theta }}=242~kJ~mo{{l}^{-1}}$ 

4. ${{C}_{(g)}}+4C{{l}_{(g)}}\to CC{{l}_{4(g)}}{{\Delta }_{f}}H=-135.5~kJ~mo{{l}^{-1}}$ 

Enthalpy change for the given process $CC{{l}_{4(g)}}\to {{C}_{(g)}}+4C{{l}_{(g)}}$ can be calculated using the following algebraic calculations as: 

Equation (ii) + 2 $\times $ Equation (iii) - Equation (i) - Equation (iv) 

\[\Delta H={{\Delta }_{a}}{{H}^{\theta }}(C)+2{{\Delta }_{a}}{{H}^{\theta }}(C{{l}_{2}})-{{\Delta }_{vap\text{ }}}{{H}^{\theta }}-{{\Delta }_{f}}H\]

 \[\left( 715.0~kJ~mo{{l}^{-1}} \right)+2\left( 242~kJ~mo{{l}^{-1}} \right)-\left( 30.5~kJ~mo{{l}^{-1}} \right)-\left( -135.5~kJ~mo{{l}^{-1}} \right)\]

Therefore, $\Delta H=1304~kJ~mo{{l}^{-1}}$ 

Bond enthalpy of C-Cl bond in $CC{{l}_{4}}(g)$ 

\[=\frac{1304}{4}kJmo{{l}^{-1}}\]

\[=326~kJ~mo{{l}^{-1}}\]  

16. For an isolated system, $\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ U=0}$ , what will be $\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ S}$?

Ans: $\Delta S$will be positive i.e., greater than zero. 

Since for an isolated system, $\Delta U=0$, hence $\Delta S$will be positive and the reaction will be spontaneous. 

17. For the reaction at 298 K, $\text{2A+B}\to \text{C}$ 

$\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ H= 400 kJ mo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}$ and $\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ S= 0}\text{.2 kJ }{{\text{K}}^{\text{-1}}}\text{ mo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}$ At what temperature will the reaction become spontaneous considering $\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ H}$ and $\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ S}$ to be constant over the temperature range?

Ans: From the expression, 

\[\Delta G=\text{ }\Delta H-T\Delta S\] 

Assuming the reaction at equilibrium, $\Delta T$for the reaction would be: 

\[T=(\Delta H-\Delta G)\frac{1}{\Delta S}\] 

\[=\frac{\Delta H}{\Delta S}\] 

($\Delta G$ = 0 at equilibrium) 

\[=\frac{400~kJ~mo{{l}^{-1}}}{0.2~kJ~{{K}^{-1}}~mo{{l}^{-1}}}\] 

T = 2000 K 

For the reaction to be spontaneous, $\Delta G$must be negative. Hence, for the given reaction to be spontaneous, T should be greater than 2000 K. 

18. For the reaction, $\text{2Cl(g)}\to \text{C}{{\text{l}}_{\text{2}}}\text{(g)}$ What are the signs of ∆H and ∆S ? 

Ans: $\Delta H$ and $\Delta S$ are negative. 

The given reaction represents the formation of chlorine molecules from chlorine atoms. Here, bond formation is occurring. Therefore, energy is being released. Hence, $\Delta H$is negative. 

Also, two moles of atoms have more randomness than one mole of a molecule. Since spontaneity is decreased, $\Delta S$is negative for the given reaction. 

19. For the reaction 

$\text{2A}\left( \text{g} \right)\text{ + B}\left( \text{g} \right)\text{ }\to \text{ 2D}\left( \text{g} \right)$ 

$\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }{{\text{U}}^{\text{ }\!\!\theta\!\!\text{ }}}$  = -10.5 kJ and $\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }{{\text{S}}^{\text{ }\!\!\theta\!\!\text{ }}}$ = -44.1$\text{J}{{\text{K}}^{\text{-1}}}$ . 

Calculate $\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }{{\text{G}}^{\text{ }\!\!\theta\!\!\text{ }}}$ for the reaction, and predict whether there action may occur spontaneously. 

Ans: For the given reaction,

\[2A\left( g \right)\text{ }+\text{ }B\left( g \right)\text{ }\to \text{ }2D\left( g \right)\] 

$\Delta {{n}_{g}}=2-(3)$ = -1 mole

Substituting the value of $\Delta {{U}^{\theta }}$ in the expression of$\Delta H$:

\[\Delta {{H}^{\theta }}=\Delta {{U}^{\theta }}+\Delta {{n}_{g}}RT\] 

\[=(-10.5~kJ)-(-1)\left( 8.314\times {{10}^{-3}}~kJ~{{K}^{-1}}~mo{{l}^{-1}} \right)(298~K)\] 

\[ -10.5 kJ - 2.48 kJ\] 

\[\Delta {{H}^{\theta }}=-12.98kJ\] 

Substituting the values of $\Delta {{H}^{\theta }}$ and $\Delta {{S}^{\theta }}$ in the expression of $\Delta {{G}^{\theta }}$: 

\[\Delta {{G}^{\theta }}\text{ }=\text{ }\Delta {{H}^{\theta }}\text{ }-T\Delta {{S}^{\theta }}\] 

\[=-12.98 kJ - (298 K) (-44.1) J\text{ }{{K}^{-1}}\] 

\[ =-12.98 kJ + 13.14 kJ\]

$\Delta {{G}^{\theta }}$= + 0.16 kJ 

Since $\Delta {{G}^{\theta }}$ for the reaction is positive, the reaction will not occur spontaneously.

20. The equilibrium constant for a reaction is 10. What will be the value of $\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }{{\text{G}}^{\text{ }\!\!\theta\!\!\text{ }}}$? R = 8.314 $text{ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ J}{{\text{K}}^{\text{-1}}}\text{ mo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}$ , T = 300 K. 

Ans: From the expression, 

\[\Delta {{G}^{\theta }}\text{ }=\text{ }-2.303\text{ }RTlogKeq\] 

$\Delta {{G}^{\theta }}$ for the reaction, 

\[= (2.303) (8.314 ~J{{K}^{-1}}\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}) (300 K) log10\] 

\[= -5744.14 ~Jmo{{l}^{-1}}\] 

\[= -5.744 k~Jmo{{l}^{-1}}\]

21. Comment on the thermodynamic stability of NO(g), given

\[\frac{\text{1}}{\text{2}}\text{NO(g)+}\frac{\text{1}}{\text{2}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\text{(g)}\to \text{N}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\text{(g):}{{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}_{\text{r}}}{{\text{H}}^{\text{ }\!\!\theta\!\!\text{ }}}\text{=90kJmo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}\] 

\[\text{N}{{\text{O}}_{\text{(g)}}}\text{+}\frac{\text{1}}{\text{2}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2(g)}}}\to {{\text{O}}_{\text{2(g)}}}\text{:}{{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}_{\text{r}}}{{\text{H}}^{\text{ }\!\!\theta\!\!\text{ }}}\text{=-74 }\!\!~\!\!\text{ kJ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ mo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}\] 

Ans: The positive value of ${{\Delta }_{r}}H$ indicates that heat is absorbed during the formation of NO(g). This means that NO(g) has higher energy than the reactants (${{N}_{2}}$  and${{O}_{2}}$). Hence, NO(g) is unstable. The negative value of ${{\Delta }_{r}}H$indicates that heat is evolved during the formation of $N{{O}_{2}}(g)$ from NO(g) and ${{O}_{2}}$(g). The product, $N{{O}_{2}}(g)$is stabilized with minimum energy. 

Hence, unstable NO(g) changes to unstable $N{{O}_{2}}(g)$. 

22. Calculate the entropy change in surroundings when 1.00 mol of ${{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\text{O(l)}$ is formed under standard conditions. ${{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}_{\text{f}}}{{\text{H}}^{\text{ }\!\!\theta\!\!\text{ }}}$ = -286 $\text{kJ mo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}$ . 

Ans: It is given that 286 $kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}$ of heat is evolved on the formation of 1 mol of ${{H}_{2}}O(l)$. Thus, an equal amount of heat will be absorbed by the surroundings.

\[{{q}_{surr}} = +286 kJ kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

Entropy change $\left( \Delta {{S}_{surr}} \right)$ for the surroundings \[=\frac{{{q}_{surr}}}{7}\] 

\[=\frac{286kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}}{298K}\] 

Therefore, $\left( \Delta {{S}_{surr}} \right)$= $959.73\,J\,mo{{l}^{-1}}{{K}^{-1}}$.
