$\Delta_\text{f}\text{U}^\ominus$ of formation of $\text{CH}_4\ (\text{g})$ at certain temperature is $-393\ \text{kJ}\ \text{mol}^{-1}.$ The value of $\Delta_\text{f}\text{H}^\ominus$ is:
  • A
    Zero
  • $<\Delta_\text{f}\text{U}^\ominus$
  • C
    $>\Delta_\text{f}\text{U}^\ominus$
  • D
    Equal to $\Delta_\text{f}\text{U}^\ominus$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$<\Delta_\text{f}\text{U}^\ominus$
$\Delta_\text{f}\text{H}^\ominus=\Delta_\text{f}\text{U}^\ominus+\Delta\text{n}_\text{g}\text{RT}$
For the reaction,
$\text{C}(\text{s})+2\text{H}_2(\text{g})\rightarrow\text{CH}_4$
$\therefore\ \Delta\text{n}_\text{g}=1-2=-1$
$\therefore\ \Delta_\text{f}\text{H}^\ominus= \Delta_\text{f}\text{U}^\ominus-1\text{RT}$
or$\ \Delta_\text{f}\text{U}^\ominus=\Delta_\text{f}\text{H}^\ominus+\text{RT}$
or$\ \Delta_\text{f}\text{H}^\ominus<\Delta_\text{f}\text{U}^\ominus$

The temperature at the bottom of a high water fall is higher than that at the top because :
  • A
    by itself heat flows from higher to lower temperature
  • B
    the difference in height causes a difference in pressure
  • C
    thermal energy is transformed into mechanical energy
  • mechanical energy is transformed into thermal energy
Answer
Correct option: D.
mechanical energy is transformed into thermal energy
The water at the top of the waterfall, falls and gains velocity.
The potential energy it has converts into kinetic energy.
When the water lands at the bottom, the kinetic energy converts into heat and hence the water is warmer at the bottom.

A bomb calorimeter is used to measure the value of heat of reaction at a constant :
  • Volume
  • B
    Pressure
  • C
    Temperature
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: A.
Volume
For combustion reactions, we often enclose all reactants in an explosive-proof steel container, called the bomb whose volume does not change during a reaction. The bomb is then submerged in water or other liquid that absorbs the heat of reaction. The heat capacitor of the bomb plus other things is then measured using the same technique as other calorimeters. Such an instrument is called a bomb calorimeter, and its application is called the bomb calorimetry. For combustion reactions, we often enclose all reactants in an explosive $-$ proof steel container, called the bomb whose volume does not change during a reaction.

  • A compound
  • B
    An element
  • C
    A metal

Answer
Correct option: A.
A compound
Since the substance $R$ is a mixture of two substances, it may either be a mixture or a compound.
In a mixture the constituents retain their properties while in a compound, they lose their properties.
Since the question mentions that $R$ has different property from both $P$ and $Q,$ hence it must be a compound.

    Entropy change.
  • C
    Activation energy.
  • D
    Specific heat capacity.
Answer
Correct option: A.
Enthalpy change.
Whether a reaction is endothermic or exothermic can be indicated by enthalpy change.

  • Exothermic energy randomness of the products
  • D
    Endothermic energy structure of the products
Answer
Correct option: C.
Exothermic energy randomness of the products
$\triangle G = \triangle H - T\triangle S,$ for a reaction to be spontaneous $\triangle G,$ should be negative.
it is guaranteed only if both terms in $\text{RHS}$ is negative.

    Temperature of hot function
  • D
    Neutral temperature
Answer
Correct option: A.
Thermocouple
The Seeback effect is the direct conversion of heat into electricity in which potential difference is needed to calculate the current density so the potential of two junctions must be known.
It has nothing to do with neutral temperature.

Which of the following is slow process :
  • Isothermal
  • B
    Adiabatic
  • C
    Isobaric
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: A.
Isothermal
Isothermal processes are necessarily slow as they require heat transfer to remain at the same temperature which is done by being in thermal equilibrium with some reservoir.
A process will be isothermal only if it happens on timescales larger than the timescale required for effective heat transfer.

  • B
    Entropy of reaction
  • C
    Work done in reaction
  • D
    All the above
Answer
Correct option: A.
Enthalpy of reaction
Hint : Hess’s law states that, if an overall reaction takes place in several steps, its standard reaction enthalpy is the sum of the standard enthalpies of the intermediate reactions, at the same temperature.

For which of the following processes $\Delta\text{S}$ is negative?
  • A
    $ \mathrm{H}_2(\mathrm{~g}) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}(\mathrm{g}) $
  • $ \mathrm{N}_2(\mathrm{~g}, 1 \mathrm{~atm}) \rightarrow \mathrm{N}_2(\mathrm{~g}, 5 \mathrm{~atm}) $
  • C
    $2 \mathrm{SO}_3(\mathrm{~g}) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{SO}_2(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{O}_2(\mathrm{~g})$
  • D
    $\ce{C(diamond) \rightarrow C(graphite)}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$ \mathrm{N}_2(\mathrm{~g}, 1 \mathrm{~atm}) \rightarrow \mathrm{N}_2(\mathrm{~g}, 5 \mathrm{~atm}) $
At higher pressure $\ce{N_2(g)}$ will have less entropy, i.e. $\Delta\text{S}$ will be $- \ce{ve}$ because molecules will be less free to move at high pressure.

Two moles of an ideal gas is expanded isothermally and reversibly from $1L$ to $10L$ at $300K$. The enthalpy change $($in $kJ)$ for the process is :
  • A
    $11.4kJ$
  • $-11.4kJ$
  • C
    $0kJ$
  • D
    $4.8kJ$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$-11.4kJ$
$\text{w}=+2.303\text{nRT}\log\frac{\text{V}_2}{\text{V}_1}$
$=2.303\times2\times8.314\times300=11.48\text{kJ}$
$\Delta\text{U}=\text{q}+\text{w},\ \Delta\text{U}=0,\ \text{q}=-11.48\text{kJ}$
$\Delta\text{H}=\text{q}_\text{p}=-11.48\text{kJ mol}^{-1}$

The heat required to raise the temperature of a body by $1K$ is called :
  • A
    Specific heat
  • Thermal capacity
  • C
    Water equivalent
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: B.
Thermal capacity
The heat required to raise the temperature of a body by $1K$ is called thermal capacity.
In other words, when $q$ is the heat supplied to the body and the temperature raises by $1K,$ then the thermal capacity of body is $q.$

The thermal motion means :
  • A
    Motion due to heat engine
  • B
    Disorderly motion of the body as a whole
  • C
    Motion of the body that generates heat
  • Random motion of molecules
Answer
Correct option: D.
Random motion of molecules
Whenever a system absorbs heat from the surroundings or when we supply thermal energy to a system, the internal energy of the system increases.
The heat absorbed increases the kinetic energy of the molecules causing them to move randomly.

  • Change in heat during a reaction
  • B
    Rates of reaction
  • C
    Equilibrium constant
  • D
    Influence of pressure on volume of a gas
Answer
Correct option: A.
Change in heat during a reaction
Hess's law is related to change in heat during a reaction.
It states that the total change in heat enthalpy during the complete course of reaction is same whether the change is brought in one step or in several steps by one method or other method.

The energy of a system available to do work is called as :
  • Gibbs free energy
  • B
    Heat of formation
  • C
    Heinsenberg uncertainty principle
  • D
    Heat of vaporization
Answer
Correct option: A.
Gibbs free energy
The energy of a system available to do work is called as Gibbs free energy.
Heat required to rise one unit mass of a substance by $1$ degree Celsius is known as Specific heat.
Heat absorbed or released during production of a substance from elements in their standard states is known as Heat of formation.
Heinsenberg uncertainty principle states that, "It is not possible to determine simultaneously the position and momentum of a moving microsopic particle $($electron$)$ with absolute accuracy".
Heat required to vaporize unit mass of a substance without changing its temperature at constant pressure is called Heat of vaporization.

In an adiabatic process, no transfer of heat takes place between system and surroundings. Choose the correct option for free expansion of an ideal gas under adiabatic condition from the following.
  • A
    $\text{q}=0,\ \Delta\text{T}\neq0,\ \text{w}=0$
  • B
    $\text{q}\neq0,\ \Delta\text{T} < 0,\ \text{w}=0$
  • $\text{q}=0,\ \Delta\text{T}=0,\ \text{w}=0$
  • D
    $\text{q}=0,\ \Delta\text{T} < 0,\ \text{w}\neq0$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\text{q}=0,\ \Delta\text{T}=0,\ \text{w}=0$
For, free expansion $,w = 0$ for, adiabatic process $,q = 0$ from first law of thermodynamics : $\Delta\text{U}=\text{q}+\text{w}=0+0=0$ since, there is no change of internal energy hence temperature will also remain constant, i.e., $\Delta\text{T}=0$
