Q1. The temperature of the system, decreases in an ___________________
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q2. In an isothermal reversible compression of an ideal gas the sign of q, ∆S and w are respectively
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

During compression, energy of the system increases, in isothermal condition, to main-tain temperature constant, heat is liberated from the system. Hence q is negative.

During compression entropy decreases.

During compression work is done on the system, hence w is positive


Q3. Molar heat of vapourisation of a liquid is 4.8 kJ mol–1. If the entropy change is 16 J mol–1 K–1, the boiling point of the liquid is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:




Q4. ∆S is expected to be maximum for the reaction
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

In CaCO3(S) CaO(S) + CO2(g), entropy change is positive. In (a) and (b) entropy change is negative ; in (c) entropy change is zero.

Q5. The values of ∆H and ∆S for a reaction are respectively 30 kJ mol–1 and 100 JK–1 mol–1. Then the temperature above which the reaction will become spontaneous is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

G = H – T S

At 300K

G =30000 J mol–1 – 300 K x 100 J K–1 mol–1

G =  0

above 300 K ; ∆G will be negative and reaction becomes spontaneous.
