The law states that ‘If two systems are separately in thermal equilibrium with a third one, then they tend to be in thermal equilibrium with themselves’.

Question 5.
Explain Zeroth law of thermodynamics.
Answer:
According to this law, if systems B and C separately are in thermal equilibrium with another system A, thenb systems B and C will also be in thermal equilibrium with each other. This is also the principle by which thermometers are used.

Question 6.

Answer:
A thermo chemical equation gives,
(i) The number of mol of the reactants and the number of mol of the products.
(ii) The amount of heat liberated or absorbed (as the case may) i.e., magnitude of enthalpy change (∆H).
(iii) The physical state of the reactants or products i.e., if the species are solid or liquid or gas.
eg: H₂ (g) + 2 O₂ (g) → H₂O (g) ∆H = – 268 kJ mol^-1

Question 7.
Define molar heat capacity at constant volume and molar heat capacity at constant pressure.
Answer:
(i) The heat capacity at constant volume (C_V) is defined as the rate of change of internal energy with respect to temperature at constant volume.

C_V = \(\left(\frac{\partial \mathrm{H}}{\partial \mathrm{T}}\right)_{\mathrm{V}}\)

(ii) The molar heat capacity at constant pressure (C_P) can be defined as the rate of change of enthalpy with respect to temperature at constant.pressure.
C_P = \(\left(\frac{\partial H}{\partial T}\right)_{P}\)

Question 8.
Define the relationship C_P – C_V = nR for an ideal gas.
Answer:
The enthalpy of a system is given by
H = U + PV ……….(1)
for 1 mole of an ideal gas
PV = nRT …………(2)
By substituting (2) in (1) i.e., PV in equation (1) by nRT
H = U + nRT ………….(3)
Differentiating the above equation with respect to T,
\(\frac{\partial \mathrm{H}}{\partial \mathrm{T}}=\frac{\partial \mathrm{U}}{\partial \mathrm{T}}+n \mathrm{R} \frac{\partial \mathrm{T}}{\partial \mathrm{T}}\)

C_P = C_V + nR …………(4)

∵ [\(\left(\frac{\partial H}{\partial T}\right)_{P}\) = C_P and \(\left(\frac{\partial U}{\partial T}\right)_{V}\) = C_V]

C_P – C_V = nR

Question 9.
Explain why C_P is always greater than C_V?
Answer:
At constant pressure processes, a system has to do work against the surroundings. Hence, the system would require more heat to effect a given temperature rise than at constant volume, so C_P is always greater than C_V.

Question 10.
Show that ∆U = nC_V (T₂ – T₁) and ∆H = C_P(T₂ – T₁).
Answer:
For one mole of an ideal gas, we have
C_V = \(\frac{d \mathrm{U}}{d \mathrm{~T}}\)
dU = C_V dT
For a finite change, we have
∆U = C_V ∆T
∆U = C_V (T₂ – T₁)
and for n moles of an ideal gas we get
∆U = nC_V(T₂ – T₁) ……….(1)
Similarly for n moles of an ideal gas we get
∆H = nC_P (T₂ – T₁) ………….(2)

Question 11.
Describe the application of heat of combustion.
Answer:

• The heat of formation of compounds can be calculated from heat of combustion values.
• The calorific value of food and fuels can be calculated from heat of combustion.

Question 12.
Explain application of Hess’s law of constant heat summation with an example.
Answer:
(i) Hess’s law can be applied to calculate enthalpies of reactions that are difficult to measure. For example, it is very difficult to measure the heat of combustion of graphite to give pure CO.
(ii) However, enthalpy for the oxidation of graphite to CO₂ and CO to CO₂ can easily be measured. For these conversions, the heat of combustion values are – 393.5 kJ and – 283.5 kJ respectively.
(iii) From these data the enthalpy of combustion of graphite to CO can be calculated by applying Hess’s law.
The reactions involved in this process can be expressed as follows

∆H₁ = ∆H₂ + ∆H₃
– 393.5 kJ = X – 283.5 kJ
X = – 110.5 kJ

Question 13.
Derive an expression for the efficiency of a heat engine.
Answer:
Efficiency = \(\frac{\text { work performed }}{\text { heat absorbed }}\)

η = \(\frac{\left|q_{h}\right|-\left|q_{c}\right|}{\left|q_{h}\right|}\)

q_h – heat absorbed fropi the hot reservoir
q_c – heat transferred to cold reservoir

η = 1 – \(\frac{\left|q_{c}\right|}{\left|q_{h}\right|}\) …………(1)
For a reversible cyclic process
∆S_(universe)= ∆S_(system) + ∆S_{(surroundings)} = 0
∆S_(system) = – ∆S_{(surroundings)}

\(\frac{\mathrm{T}_{c}}{\mathrm{~T}_{h}}=\frac{\left|q_{c}\right|}{\left|q_{h}\right|}\) …………..(2)
Substituting (2) in (1)
⇒ η = 1 – \(\frac{\mathrm{T}_{c}}{\mathrm{~T}_{h}}\) …………(3)
Hence, η < 1

Question 14.
Give expressions for the entropy change a phase change.
Answer:
∆S = \(\frac{q_{\mathrm{rev}}}{\mathrm{T}}=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{rev}}}{\mathrm{T}}\)
Where ∆H_rev is the enthalpy change at Temperature (T).

Question 15.

Answer:
(i) Molar heat of fusion:
The molar heat of fusion is defined as “the change in enthalpy when one mole of a solid substance is converted into the liquid state at its melting point”.

(ii) Molar heat of vaporisation:
The molar heat of vaporisation is defined as “the change in enthalpy when one mole of liquid is converted into vapour state at its boiling point”.

(iii) Enthalpy of transition:
The heat of transition is defined as “The change in enthalpy when one mole of an element changes from one of its allotropic form to another.

Question 16.
Give examples for spontaneous processes.
Answer:
(i) A waterfall runs downhill, but never uphill, spontaneously.
(ii) A lump of sugar dissolves spontaneously in a cup of coffee, but never reappears in its original form spontaneously.
(iii) Heat flows from hotter object to a colder one; but never flows from colder to hotter object spontaneously.
(iv) The expansion of a gas into an evacuated bulb is a spontaneous process, the reverse process that is gathering of all molecules into one bulb is not spontaneous.

Question 17.
Explain how ∆G is related to spontaneity of a process.
Answer:
Let us consider a system which undergoes a change of state from state (1) to state (2) at constant temperature.
G₂ – G₁ = (H₂ – H₁) – T(S₂ – S₁)
∆G = ∆H – T ∆S ……….(1)
Now let us consider how ∆G is related to reaction spontaneity.
We know that
∆S_total = ∆S_sys – ∆S_surr
For a reversible process (equilibrium), the change in entropy of universe is zero.
∆S_total = 0
[∵ ∆S_sys = – ∆S_surr]
Similarly, for an equilibrium process ∆G = 0
For spontaneous process, ∆S_total > 0, so ∆S_total > 0
∆S_(system) + ∆S_{(surroundings)} > 0
\(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{H}_{\text {sys }}}{\mathrm{T}}\) – ∆S_(system) > 0

∆H_sys – T∆S_sys > 0
T∆S_sys – ∆H_sys < 0
– (∆H_sys – T∆S_sys) > 0
– (∆G) > 0
Hence for a spontaneous process, ∆G < 0
i.e. ∆H – T ∆S < 0 …(1)
∆H_sys is the enthalpy change of a reaction, T∆S_sys is the energy which is not available to do useful work. So, ∆G is the net energy available to do usefuf work and is thus a measure of the ‘free energy’. For this reason, it is also known as the free energy of the reaction. For non spontaneous process, ∆G > 0.

Question 18.
How is Gibb’s free energy and network done by the system related?
Answer:
For any system at constant pressure and temperature.
∆G = ∆H – T∆S …(1)
We know that, ∆H = ∆U + P∆V
∴ ∆G = ∆U + P∆V – T∆S
from first law of thermodynamics if work is done by the system
∆U = q – w
from second law of thermodynamics
∆S = \(\frac{q}{\mathrm{~T}}\) ∆G = q – w + P∆V – T(\(\frac{q}{\mathrm{~T}}\))
∆G = -.w + P∆V
– ∆G = – w – P∆V …………… (3)
But – P∆V represents the work done due to expansion against a constant external pressure. Therefore, it is clear that the decrease, in free energy (- ∆G) accompanying a process taking place at constant temperature and pressure is equal to the maximum work obtainable from the system other than the work of expansion.

Question 19.
How is standard energy charge related to equilibrium constant?
Answer:
The standard free energy-change for a reversible reaction is related to its equilibrium constant (K_eq) by means of the relationship
∆G° = ∆H° – T∆S°
where, ∆G° – Standard free energy change
∆H° = Standard enthalpy of formation
∆S° = Standard entropy of formation

Question 20.
Derive an expression for the standard free energy change for the reaction A + B ⇌ C + D in terms of the equilibrium constant.
Answer:
Lets consider a general equilibrium reaction A + B ⇌ C + D
The free energy change of the above reaction in any state (∆G) is related to the standard free energy change of the reaction (∆G° ) according to the following equation.
∆G = ∆G° + RT ln Q
where Q is reaction quotient and is defined as the ratio of concentration of the products to the concentrations of the reactants under non equilibrium condition.

When equilibrium is attained, there is no further free energy change i.e., ∆G = 0 and Q becomes equal to equilibrium constant. Hence the above equation becomes,
∆G° = – RT ln K_eq
This equation is known as Van’t Hoff equation,
∆G° = – 2.303 RT log K_eq

We also know that
∆G° = ∆H° – T∆S° = -RT ln K_eq

Question 21.
Explain third law of thermodynamics.
Answer:
The entropy of pure crystalline substance s at absolute zero is zero. Alternatively it can be stated as, it is impossible to lower the temperature of an object to absolute zero in a finite number of steps. Mathematically,

\(\begin{gathered}
\text { lim } \\
\mathrm{T} \rightarrow 0
\end{gathered}\) S = 0 for a perfectly ordered crystalline state.

Crystals with defects (imperfection) at absolute zero, have entropy greater than zero. Absolute entropy of a substance can never be negative.

Question 22.
Two litres of an ideal gas at a pressure of 10 atm expands isothermally into vacuum until its total volume is 10 litres. How much heat is absorbed and how much work is done in the expansion.
Answer:
Work done in free expansion or work done against zero pressure is also zero.
w_exp = -P_ext(∆U)
0 = w_exp = -P_ext(V₂ – V₁)
0 = 0 (10 – 2) = 0
Hence heat change, and work done is zero.

Question 23.
Calculate the work done in reversible isothermal expansion when 2L of an ideal gas at a pressure of 10 atm expands isothermally against 1 atm to a final volume of 10 L.
Answer:
w = 2.303 nRT log\(\frac{\mathrm{V}_{2}}{\mathrm{~V}_{1}}\) ………(1)
PV = nRT ……….(2)
From equations (1) and (2)
w = 2.303 PV log\(\frac{\mathrm{V}_{2}}{\mathrm{~V}_{1}}\)
= 2.303 × 1 × 10 log \(\frac{10}{2}\)
= 2.303 × 1 × 10 × log 5
= 16.1 litre-atm
= 16.1 × 101.3 J = 1630.93 J
w_exp = – 1630.93 J
q = -w_exp = 1630.93 J

Question 24.
5 moles of an ideal gas expand isothermally and reversibly from a pressure of 10 atm to 2 atm at 300K. Calculate the work done by the system.
Answer:
w = – 2.303 nRT log\(\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}\)
= – 2.303 × 5 × 8.314 × 300 log \(\frac{10}{2}\)
= – 20.075 × 10³ J

Question 25.
Liquid benzene is oxidised at constant pressure according to following equation.
C₆H₆ (l) + \(\frac{15}{2}\) O₂(s) → 6 CO₂(g) + 3 H₂O (l) Enthalpy change (∆H) for the reaction at 300K is -3728 kJ.
Calculate the internal energy charge.
Answer:
The reaction is
C₆H₆ (l) + \(\frac{15}{2}\) O₂(s) → 6 CO₂(g) + 3 H₂O (l)
∆n = number of mol of gaseous products – number of mol of gaseous reactants
∆n = 6 – \(\frac{15}{2}\) = – \(\frac{3}{2}\)
∆H = ∆U + RT (∆n)
-3728 = ∆U+ (-\(\frac{3}{2}\)) × 8.314 × 10^-3 × 300
∆U = -3724.25 kJ mol^-1

Question 26.
1 g of graphite is burnt in a bomb calorimeter in excess of oxygen at 298K and 1 atm pressure according to the equation.
C_(graphite) + O₂(g) → CO₂ (g)
During the reaction, temperature rises from 298K ‘to 299K. If the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter is 20.7 kJ mol^-1. What is the enthalpy change for the above reaction at 298K and 1 atm?
Answer:
Heat evolved in the reaction (∆U) = – C_V∆T
= -20.7 × 1 = -20.7 kJ mol^-1
Heat evolved in the combustion of 1 mol of carbon i.e., 12g of graphite
= – 20.7 × 12 kJ mol^-1
= – 2.48 × 10² kJ mol^-1
In the given reactions ∆n = 0
∆H = ∆U = – 2.48 × 10² kJ mol^-1

Question 27.

Answer:
N₂O₄ (g) + 3 CO (g) → N₂O (g) + 3 CO₂ (g).
Given:

Question 28.
Given N₂ (g) + 3H₂ (g) → 2NH₃ (g); ∆H° = – 92.4 kJ mol^-1. What is the standard enthalpy of formation of NH₃ (g)?
Answer:
The given reaction is .
N₂ (g) + 3 H₂ (g) → 2NH₃ (g);
∆H° = – 92.4 kJ mol^-1
∆H°= 2 ∆H_f° (NH₃) – [∆H_f° (N₂) + 3 ∆H_f° (H₂)]
By definition, the standard enthalpy of formation of elements is equal to zero.
– 92.4 = 2 ∆H_f° (NH₃) – (0 + 3 × 0)
i.e., for 2 mol of NH₃ 2∆H_f° (NH₃) = – 92.4
for 1 mol of NH3 ∆H_f° (NH3) = – \(\frac{92.4}{2}\)
= 46.2 kJ mol^-1

Question 29.
The enthalpy of combustion of carbon to carbondioxide is -393.5 kJ mol^-1. Calculate the heat released upon the formation of 35.2g of CO₂ from carbon and oxygen gas.
Answer:
The combustion of carbon is given by
C(s) + O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g)
∆H = – 393.5 kJ mol^-1
Number of mol of CO₂ = \(\frac{35.2}{44}\) = 0.8
Amount of heat evolved in the formation of 0.8 mol of CO₂ is = 393.5 × 0.8 = 314.8 kJ

Question 30.
Calculate the enthalpy of formation of CH₃OH(l) from the following data:
CH₃OH (l) + \(\frac{3}{2}\) O₂ (g) → CO₂(g) + 2 H₂O (l) ∆H° = – 726 kJ mol^-1
C (s) + O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) ∆H° = – 393 kJ mol^-1
H₂ (g) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) O₂ (g) → H₂O (l) ∆H° = – 286 kJ mol^-1
Answer:
The required equation is
C (s) + 2 H₂ (g) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) O₂ (g) → CH₃OH (l)
∆H = ? The given equations can be rearranged as
(i) CO₂ (g) + 2H₂O (l) → CH₃OH (l).+ \(\frac{3}{2}\) O₂ (g) + 726 kJmol^-1
(ii) C (s) + O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) -393 kJ mol^-1
(iii) 2H₂ (g) + O₂ (g) → 2H₂O (l) 2 x -286 kJ mol
On adding C (s) + 2H₂ (g) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) O₂ (g) → CH₃OH – 239.0 kJ
AH°(CH₃OH) = – 239.0 kJ mol^-1

Question 31.
The heats of combustion of CH₄ and C₄H₁₀ are – 890.3 and – 2878.7 kJ mol^-1 respectively. Which of the two has greater efficiency as fuel per gram?
Answer:
Molar mass of methane = 16
Heat produced per gram of methane = –\(\frac{890}{16}\) = – 55.63 kJ
Molar mass of butane = 58
Heat produced per gram of butane = –\(\frac{2878.7}{58}\) = -49.62 kJ
Thus, methane has greater fuel efficiency than butane.

Question 32.
Whenever an acid is neutralised by a base, the net reaction is
H⁺ (aq) + OH^– (aq) → H₂O (l); ∆H = – 57.1 kJ
Calculate the heat evolved for the following experiments:
Answer:
According to the reaction
H⁺ (aq) + OH^– (aq) → H₂O (l); ∆H = – 57.1 kJ
i.e., when one mole of H⁺ ions reacts with one mole of OH^– ions, one mole of water is formed and 57.1 kJ of energy is released.
(i) 6.50 mole of HCl solution is neutralised by 0.50 mole of NaOH solution.
0.50 mole of HCl = 0.50 mole of H⁺ ions
0.50 mole of NaOH = 0.50 mole of OH^– ions
On mixing, 0.50 mole of H₂O is formed.
Heat evolved for the formation of 0.50 mole of water = 57.1 × 0.5 = 28.55 kJ

(ii) 0.50 mole of HNO₃ solution is neutralised
by 0.30 mole of NaOH solution.
0.50 mole of HNO₃ = 0.50 mole of H⁺ ions
0.30 mole of KOH = 0.30 mole of OH^– ions
i.e., 0.30 mole of H⁺ ions react with 0.30 mole of OH^– ions and forms 0.30 mole of water.
Heat evolved in the formation of 0.30 mole of H₂O = 57.1 × 0.3 = 17.13 kJ

(iii) 100 ml of 0.2 M HCl is mixed with 100 ml of 0.3M NaOH solution.
100 ml of 0.2 M HCl will give (\(\frac{0.2 \times 100}{1000}\)) mole of = 0.02 mole of H⁺ ions.
100 ml of 0.3 M NaOH will give (\(\frac{0.3 \times 100}{1000}\)) mole of = 0.03 mole of OH^– ions.
i.e., 0.02 mole of H⁺ Ions will react 0.03 mole of OH^– ions and produce 0.02 mole of H₂O molecules.
Heat evolved in the formation of 0.02 mole of H₂O = 0.02 × 57.1 = 1.142 kJ

(iv) 400 ml of 0.2 M H₂SO₄ is mixed with 600ml of 0.1M KOH solution.
400 ml of 0.2 M H₂SO₄ will give \(\left(\frac{2 \times 0.2}{1000}\right)\) × 400 = 0.16 mole of H⁺ ions.
600 ml of 0.1 M KOH will give \(\left(\frac{0.1 \times 600}{1000}\right)\) = 0 06 mole of OH^– ion
Heat evolved in the formation of 0.06 mole of H₂O = 0.06 × 57.1 = 3.426 kJ

Question 33.
Calculate the standard heat of formation of carbon di sulphide (l). Given that the standard heats of combustion of carbon (s), sulphur (s) and carbon di sulphide (l) are – 393.3, – 293.72, and – 1108.76 kJ mol^-1 respectively.
Answer:
The required equation is
C (s) + 2 S (s) → CS₂(l); ∆H = ?
Given:
C(s) + O₂ (g) → CO₂(g); ∆H = – 393.3 kJ …………(1)
S(s) + O₂ (g) → SO₂ (g); ∆H = -293.7 kJ ………….(2)
CS₂ (l) + O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) + SO₂ (g);
∆H = – 1108.76 kJ ………….(3)

First method:
Multiply equation (2) by 2
2 S (s) + 2 O₂ (g) → 2 SO₂ (g); ∆H = – 587.44 ………….(4)
Adding equations (1) and (4) and subtracting (3),
C (s) + 2 S (s) + 3O₂ (g) – CS₂ (l) – 3O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) + 2SO₂ (g) – CO₂ (g) – 2SO₂ (g)
C (s) + 2S (s) → CS₂(l)
Thus, ∆H_f = – 393.3 – 587.44 + 1108.76 = 128.02 kJ
i.e., standard heat of formation of CS₂ is 128.02 kJ.

Second method:
Standard enthalpy of formation of
CO₂ = – 393.3 kJ
SO₂ = – 293.72 kJ
CS₂ = ?
From the first law of thermodynamics, the standard enthalpy of a compound is equal to the standard enthalpy of formation of the compound and the standard enthalpies of elements is equal to zero.

The equation is
CS₂ (l) + 3 SO₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) + 2 SO₂ (g); ∆H° = -1108.76 kJ
∆H° = ΣH° (products) – ΣH° (reactants)
= {∆H°_f(CO₂) + 2H°_fSO₂)} – {∆H°_f(CS₂) + 3 H°_f(O₂)}
-1108.76 = {- 393.3 + 2 × (-296.72)} – ∆H°_f(CS₂)
∆H°_f(CS₂) = + 1108.76 – 393.3 – 2 × (297.72)
= 1108.76 – 980.74= 128.02 kJ
∴ ∆H°_f(CS₂) = 128.02 kJ mol^-1

Bond energies or Bond enthalpies:

1. The bond dissociation energy of a diatomic molecule is also called bond energy.
2. When a molecule or a compound contains more than one bond of the same kind, the average value of the dissociation energies of a given bond is taken. This average bond dissociation energy required to break each bond in a compound is called bond energy.
3. Using bond energy data, heat of reaction is (∆H) can be calculated by using the equation.
   ∆H – ΣB.E of (reactants) – ΣB.E of (products)
4. Alternating, of enthalpy change for the reaction and bond energies of all the bonds except one, the bond energy of that bond can be calculated.

Question 34.
Calculate ∆H, for the reaction,

Bond energies of C – H bond, C – Cl bond are 415 kJ and 326 kJ respectively.
Answer:
∆H – Σ B.E of (Reactants) – ΣB.E of (products)
= 2 × (C – H) + 2[(Cl) – 0)] (B.E of all free atoms = 0)
= 2 × 415 + 2 × 326
= 830+ 652 = 1482 kJ

Question 35.
Calculate the enthalpy change for the following reactions.
H₂C = CH₃ (g) + H₂ (g) → CH₃ – CH₃ (g)
The bond energies of C – H, C – C, C = C, H – H are 99, 83, 147, 104 kCal respectively.

Answer:
∆H = Σ B.E (Reactants) – Σ B.E (products)
= [1 × (C = C) + 4 × (C – H)+ 1 × (H -H)] -1 × (C – C) + 6 × (C – H)
= (147 + 4 × 99 + 104) – (83 + 6 × 99) = – 30 k.cal

Question 36.
The bond dissociation energies of gaseous chlorine, hydrogen and hydrogen chloride are 104, 58 and 103 kcal mol^-1 respectively. Calculate the enthalpy of foimation of HCl(g). Predict in which of the following, entropy increases / decreases.

(i) A liquid crystallises into a solid.
Answer:
When a liquid crystallises into a solid its entropy decreases because of randomness is less in a solid as compared to that in a liquid (∆s = negative)

(ii) Temperature of crystalline solid is raised from 0 K to 115 K.
Answer:
When a crystalline solid is heated from 0 K to 115 K, the entropy increases (∆S = positive) because at higher temperature, the constituent units starts vibrating around their mean position.

(iii) 2NaHCO₃ (s) → Na₂CO₃ (s) + CO₂ (g) + H₂O (s)
Answer:
In the reaction
2NaHCO₃ (s) → Na₂CO₃ (s) + CO₂ (g) + H₂O (g) the number of gaseous components increase aid hence entropy of the system will increase.

(iv) H₂(g) → 2 H (g)
Answer:
In this reaction, the number of gaseous particles increase and hence entropy will also increase.

Question 37.
For the oxidation of iron:
4 Fe (s) + 3O₂ (g) → 2Fe₂O₃ (s)
Answer:
The entropy change is – 549.4 Jk^-1mol^-1 at 298K. Inspite of negative entropy change of this reaction, why this reaction is spontaneous?
Answer:
∆H° for this reaction is – 1648 × 10³ J mol^-1
∆S° (system) = – 549.4 J k^-1 mol^-1
∆H°(reaction) = – 1648 × 10³ J mol^-1
T = 298 K (as standard state)
∆S_(total) – ∆S_(system) + ∆S_{(surrounding)}
∆S_(total) > 0 for spontaneous process
∆S_{(surrounding)} = \(\frac{\Delta H(\text { surrounding) }}{\mathbf{T}}\)
= \(\frac{+1648 \times 10^{3}}{298}\)
= 5530 J k^-1 mol^-1
∆S_(total) = – 549.4 + 5530 = 4960.6 J k^-1 mol^-1 = Positive
Hence, the reaction is spontaneous,

Question 38.
Calculate the enthalpy of Vaporisation per , mole Of ethanol, given ∆S = 109.8 J k^-1 mol^-1 and boiling point of ethanol is 78.5°C.

∆S_{(vaporisation)} = \(\frac{\Delta H \text { (Vaporisation) }}{T \text { (Boiling point) }}\)
Given,
∆S_{(vaporisation)} = 109.8 J k^-1 mol^-1
T_{(Boiling point)} = 78.5 + 273 = 351.5 K .
Substituting these values in the above equation

109.8 = \(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{H} \text { (vaporisation) }}{351.5}\)

∆H_{(vaporisation)} = 38594.7 J mol^-1 = 38.594 kJ mol^-1

At what temperature will the reaction become spontaneous, considering ∆H and ∆S to be constant over the temperature range?
Answer:
For the reaction to be spontaneous
∆G = Negative (∆G < 0)
i.e., ∆H – T∆S < 0 (or) T >\(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{H}}{\Delta \mathrm{S}}\)

i.e., T > \(\frac{400 \times 1000}{2000}\) = T > 200 K
The reaction will be spontaneous above 200 K.

Question 41.
For the reaction,
2A (g) + B (g) → 2D (g) ∆U° = – 10.5 kJ and ∆S° = – 44.1 Jk^-1
Calculate ∆G° for the reaction and predict whether the reaction is spontaneous or not.
Answer:
∆H° = ∆U° + RT(∆n)
= – 10.5 + 8.314 × 10^-3 × 298 × (-1) = – 12.978 kJ
We know,
∆G° = ∆H° – T∆S°
= -12.978 -298 (-44.1 × 10^-3) = 0.164 kJ
Hence, the reaction is non-spontaneous.

Question 42.

Answer:
∆G° = 2G°_f (product) – ∆G°_f (reactants)
The standard free energies of elements are equal to zero = Standard free energy of formation of the compound
∆G° = {2 × ∆G°_f (HI) + ∆G°_f (S)} – {∆G°_f (I₂) – ∆G°_f (H₂S)}
= (2 × 1.8 + 0) – (0 + 33.8) = 30.2 kJ
Since, ∆G° is negative, the process is. spontaneous.

Question 43.
Compute the standard free energy of the reaction at 27°C for the combustion of methane using the given data:

Answer:
∆H° = ∆H°_f (CO₂) + 2 ∆H°_f (H₂O) – ∆H°_f (CH₄)
= – 393.5 + 2 × (- 285.8) – (-74.8)
= – 890 kJ mol^-1
∆S° = S°(CO₂) + 2 S°(H₂O) – S°(CH₄) – 2S°(O₂)
= 214 × 2 × 70 – 186 – 2 × 205
= – 242 Jk^-1 mol^-1
∆G° = ∆H° – T∆S°
= – 890 – 300 × (- 242 × 10^-3)
= – 890 + 72.6 = – 817.4 kJmol^-1.

Question 44.
What is the equilibrium constant k_c for the following reaction at 400 K?
Answer:
2NOCl (g) ⇌ 2 NO (g) + Cl₂ (g)
Answer:

= 122 Jk^-1 mol^-1
∆G° = ∆H° – T∆S°
= 77.2 – 400 × 122 × 10^-3
= 28.4 kJ = 28.4 × 10³ J
We know, ∆G° = -2.303 RT log k_c
log k_c = \(\frac{-\Delta \mathrm{G}^{\circ}}{2.305 \times \mathrm{R} \times \mathrm{T}}\)

= \(\frac{-28.4 \times 10^{3}}{2.303 \times 8.314 \times 400}\) = 3.7081

k_c = Antilog(-3.7081)
= 1.958 × 10^-4

Answer:
∆G° = – 2.303 RT log k_c
= – 2.303 × 8.314 × 298 log (1.8 × 10^-7)
= – 38484 J mol^-1 = – 38.484 kJ mol^-1

Question 46.
Calculate ∆G° for the reaction.
CO (g) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g), ∆H° = -282.84 kJ
Answer:
Given, S°(CO₂) = 213.8 Jk^-1 mol^-1
S°(CO) = 197.9 Jk^-1 mol^-1
S°(O₂) = 205.0 Jk^-1 mol^-1
∆S° = Σ S°_(products) – Σ S°_(reactants)
= [S° (CO₂) – S° (CO) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) S° (O₂)]
= 213.8 – [197.9 + \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 205]
= – 86.6 JK^-1 mol^-1
We know,
∆G° = ∆H° – F∆S°
= – 282.84 – 298 × (- 86.6 × 10^-3)
= – 282.84 + 25.807 = -257.033 kJ
