MCQ 134 Marks
Rate law for a reaction between $A$ and $B$ is given by
$\mathrm{R}=\mathrm{k}[\mathrm{A}]^{\mathrm{n}}[\mathrm{B}]^{\mathrm{m}}$
If concentration of A is doubled and concentration of $B$ is halved from their initial value, the ratio of new rate of reaction to the initial rate of reaction $\left(\frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}}\right)$ is
  • $2^{(n-m)}$
  • B
    $(\mathrm{n}-\mathrm{m})$
  • C
    $(m+n)$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2^{m+n}}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$2^{(n-m)}$
(A) $2^{(n-m)}$
$r_{1}=k[A]^{n}[B]^{m}$
Now A is doubled $\& \mathrm{~B}$ is halved in concentration
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{r}_{2}=\mathrm{k} 2^{\mathrm{n}}[\mathrm{A}]^{\mathrm{n}} \cdot \frac{[\mathrm{B}]^{\mathrm{m}}}{2^{\mathrm{m}}}$
Now $\frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}}=2^{(n-m)}$

For $\mathrm{A}_{2}+\mathrm{B}_{2} \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{AB}$
$\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{a}}$ for forward and backward reaction are 180 and $200 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ respectively
If catalyst lowers $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{a}}$ for both reaction by $100 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$.
Which of the following statement is correct?
  • Catalyst does not alter the Gibbs energy change of a reaction.
  • B
    Catalyst can cause non-spontaneous reactions to occur.
  • C
    The enthalpy change for the reaction is $+20 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$.
  • D
    The enthalpy change for the catalysed reaction is different from that of uncatalysed reaction.
Answer
Correct option: A.
Catalyst does not alter the Gibbs energy change of a reaction.
(A) Catalyst does not alter the Gibbs energy change of a reaction.
$\mathrm{A}_{2}+\quad \mathrm{B}_{2} \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{AB}$
$\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{f}}=180 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
$\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{b}}=200 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
$\Delta \mathrm{H}=\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{f}}-\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{b}}=-20 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
In presence of catalyst :
$\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{f}}=180-100=80 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
$\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{b}}=200-100=100 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
Catalyst does not change $\Delta \mathrm{H}$ or $\Delta \mathrm{G}$ of a reaction.

$(10 \mathrm{L}, 300 \mathrm{~K}) \xrightarrow{\mathrm{n}=1}(20 \mathrm{L}, 300 \mathrm{K})$
$-\mathrm{q}=\mathrm{w}=-\mathrm{nRT} \ln \frac{\mathrm{V}_{2}}{\mathrm{~V}_{1}}$
$=-8.3 \times 300 \times \ln \left(\frac{20}{10}\right)$
$=-1.718 \mathrm{~kJ}$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{q}=1.718 \mathrm{~kJ}$
$\mathrm{w}=-1.718 \mathrm{~kJ}$

MCQ 194 Marks
Let us consider a reversible reaction at temperature, T.
In this reaction, both $\Delta \mathrm{H}$ and $\Delta \mathrm{S}$ were observed to have positive values. If the equilibrium temperature is Te , then the reaction becomes spontaneous at :
  • A
    $\mathrm{T}=\mathrm{Te}$
  • B
    $\mathrm{Te}>\mathrm{T}$
  • $\mathrm{T}>\mathrm{Te}$
  • D
    $\mathrm{Te}=5 \mathrm{~T}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\mathrm{T}>\mathrm{Te}$
(C) $\mathrm{T}>\mathrm{Te}$
For reaction to be spontaneous according to $2^{\text {nd}}$ law:
$\Delta \mathrm{G}<0$
$\Rightarrow \Delta \mathrm{H}-\mathrm{T} \Delta \mathrm{S}<0$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{T}>\left(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{H}}{\Delta \mathrm{S}}\right)=\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{e}}$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{T}>\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{e}}$
