1. In equation N2 + 3 H2 2 NH3 , what would be the sign of work done?[Hint: In this equation,
volume decreases. So, the sign of work done will be positive.] (1)
ΔH = ΔU + ΔngRT (2)
LEVEL- 2
2. Why does NH4NO3 dissolve in water spontaneously even when this process is
endothermic? [Hint: the increase in disorder (entropy) upon dissolution of this strong
electrolyte.] (1)
5. How do the strengths of bonds in the reactants compare with those of their counter parts in the
products for
(i) Endothermic reaction
(ii) Exothermic reaction (2)
6. An exothermic reaction X →Y is spontaneous in the back direction. What is the sign of ∆S for
the forward direction? (2)
8. Enthalpy and entropy changes of a reaction are 40.63KJ/mol and 108.8 J/K/mol respectively.
Predict the feasibility of the reaction at 270C. [Hint: Using the formula, ΔG=ΔH - T ΔS] (2)
2. Calculate the bond enthalpy of Cl-Cl bond from the following data: (2)
CH4 (g) + Cl2 (g) CH3Cl (l) + HCl(l) ∆H= -100.3 KJmol-1
Given are the bond enthalpies of C-H, C-Cl, and H-Cl bonds are 413, 326, and 431 KJmol-1
S○ (J/K/mol) NaHCO3 (s) = 102.1, Na2CO3 (s) = 136.0, H2O (g) = 188.8 , CO2 (g)= 213.7
[Hint: Calculate ∆r H○ and ∆r S○ and then put ∆r G○ = 0] (Ans Above 386.5K)
4. Give reasons:
(i) All living systems need to be open systems. [Hint: you exchange both matter and energy with
your environment]
(ii) The dissolution of NaCl(s) in water is endothermic but it dissolves. [Hint: the enthalpy
change during the process under standard condition is slightly positive.]
(iii) Neither q nor w is a state function but q+w is a state function.
(iv) A real crystal has more entropy than an ideal crystal
(v) An exothermic reaction may not be thermodynamically spontaneous. [Hint: even if it is
accompanied by a decrease of randomness, the heat released is absorbed by the surroundings so
that the entropy of the surroundings.]
