Enter a numerical value Answer: 28720 to 28721 +4 marks

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula W = -2.303 \, nRT log left( fracV_2V_1 right) ### Core Logic For an isothermal and reversible expansion of an ideal gas, work is done by the system on the surroundings, hence it is negative by IUPAC convention. Given: n = 5text moles R = 8.314text J K^-1textmol^-1 T = 300text K V_1 = 10text L V_2 = 100text L ### Step 1: Calculating Work Done W = -2.303 times 5 times 8.314 times 300 times logleft( frac10010 right) W = -2.303 times 5 times 8.314 times 300 times log(10) W = -2.303 times 12471 times 1 W = -28720.713text J ### Step 2: Final Formatting The question asks for work w = -xtext J. So x = 28720.713, which rounds to 28721. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Thermodynamics

Q28 jee_main_2025_07_april_evening Lattice Enthalpy and Born-Haber Cycle
The hydration energies of textK^+ and textCl^- are -textx and -textytext kJ/mol respectively. If lattice energy of textKCl is -textztext kJ/mol, then the heat of solution of textKCl is:
  • A. +textx - texty - textz
  • B. textx + texty + textz
  • C. textz - (textx + texty)
  • D. -textz - (textx + texty)

Solution

### Related Formula Delta H_textsol = textLattice Energy (L.E.) + Delta H_texthyd(textCation) + Delta H_texthyd(textAnion) ### Core Logic According to Hess's Law, the dissolution process can be mapped as follows:

Given parameters: - Lattice Energy of textKCl breaking into gaseous ions = -(-textz) = textztext kJ/mol (since lattice energy released on formation is given as -textz). - Hydration energy of textK^+ = -textxtext kJ/mol - Hydration energy of textCl^- = -textytext kJ/mol ### Step 1: Computation Substituting the values into the governing formulation: Delta H_textsol = textz + (-textx) + (-texty) Delta H_textsol = textz - textx - texty = textz - (textx + texty) ### Pattern Recognition To dissolve an ionic crystal, energy equal to the lattice energy must be supplied (endothermic step, +textz), and hydration releases energy (exothermic steps, -textx and -texty). Net heat of solution is simply the sum of these parts: textz - textx - texty. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Chemical Thermodynamics Class 11 Chemistry: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
Q33 jee_main_2025_07_april_evening Standard Enthalpy of Formation
The correct statement amongst the following is:
  • A. textThe term 'standard state' implies that the temperature is 0^circtextC
  • B. textThe standard state of pure gas is the pure gas at a pressure of 1 bar and temperature 273 K
  • C. DeltatextftextH298^thetatext is zero for O(g)
  • D. DeltatextftextH500^thetatext is zero for O2(g)

Solution

### Related Formula DeltatextfH^theta = 0 quad textfor an element in its reference/most stable standard state ### Core Logic - Standard state conditions prescribe a pressure of 1text bar. Temperature is not fixed by definition but is explicitly specified (often reference tables use 298.15text K). - Oxygen naturally and stably exists as diatomic gas molecules (textO_2(g)) at standard thresholds. - The enthalpy of formation of an element in its reference elemental state is identically zero at any reference temperature: DeltatextfH_500^theta[textO2(g)] = 0 Conversely, atomic oxygen gas (textO(g)) is not the reference phase, so its formation enthalpy is non-zero. ### Step 1: Verification of Options Statement (4) accurately aligns with thermodynamic core definitions, while statement (1) and (2) mistakenly conflate standard ambient reference states with STP conditions (273.15text K, 1text atm). ### Pattern Recognition Standard state definitions checklist: Pressure = 1text bar. Temperature is variable/assigned independently. Elements in their most stable natural form take DeltatextfH^theta = 0 at all thermal profiles. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Chemical Thermodynamics
Q31 jee_main_2025_24_jan_evening Enthalpy of Neutralization
Which of the following mixing of 1M base and 1M acid leads to the largest increase in temperature?
  • A. \text{30 mL HCl and 30 mL NaOH}
  • B. \text{30 mL } \mathrm{CH_{3}COOH} \text{ and 30 mL NaOH}
  • C. \text{50 mL HCl and 20 mL NaOH}
  • D. \text{45 mL } \mathrm{CH_{3}COOH} \text{ and 25 mL NaOH}

Solution

### Related Formula Q = n_textreacted cdot Delta H_textneutralization Delta T = fracQm cdot c ### Core Logic The temperature rise depends directly on the total heat released (Q) normalized by the total heat capacity of the resulting mixed volume (m cdot c). Let's evaluate the millimoles of mathrmH^+ and mathrmOH^- that react in each mixture: 1. **Option 1:** 30text mL of 1mathrmM mathrmHCl + 30text mL of 1mathrmM mathrmNaOH textReactive millimoles = 30text mmol. Both are strong electrolytes, releasing full neutralization energy (sim -57.3text kJ/mol). Total volume = 60text mL. 2. **Option 2:** 30text mL of 1mathrmM mathrmCH_3COOH + 30text mL of 1mathrmM mathrmNaOH textReactive millimoles = 30text mmol. However, since acetic acid is a weak acid, part of the heat is consumed in its ionization. Thus, less total heat is evolved compared to Option 1. 3. **Option 3:** 50text mL of 1mathrmM mathrmHCl + 20text mL of 1mathrmM mathrmNaOH textLimiting reagent = mathrmNaOH = 20text mmol. Only 20text mmol reacts. Total volume = 70text mL. 4. **Option 4:** 45text mL of 1mathrmM mathrmCH_3COOH + 25text mL of 1mathrmM mathrmNaOH textLimiting reagent = 25text mmol weak neutralization profile. Comparing Option 1 and Option 3, Option 1 releases significantly more heat (30text mmol vs 20text mmol) into a smaller volume (60text mL vs 70text mL), yielding the largest increase in temperature Delta T. ### Pattern Recognition To maximize Delta T, look for the option that maximizes the amount of reacting strong acid and strong base equivalents while keeping the total solution volume as small as possible. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Thermodynamics Class 11 Chemistry: Equilibrium
Q41 jee_main_2025_24_jan_evening Hess's Law of Constant Heat Summation
mathrmS(g) + frac32 O_2(g) ightarrow SO_3(g) + 2xtext kcal mathrmSO2(mathrmg) + frac12mathrmO2(mathrmg) ightarrow mathrmSO3(mathrmg) + ytext kcal The heat of formation of mathrmSO_2(mathrmg) is given by:
  • A. \frac{2x}{y}\mathrm{\ kcal}
  • B. y - 2x\mathrm{\ kcal}
  • C. 2x + y\mathrm{\ kcal}
  • D. x + y\mathrm{\ kcal}

Solution

### Related Formula Using Hess's Law, the enthalpy change of a net reaction can be determined by linearly combining the steps: Delta Htextnet = sum Delta Htextproducts - sum Delta Htextreactants ### Core Logic The heat of formation of mathrmSO_2(g) corresponds to the target thermochemical equation: textTarget: mathrmS(g) + mathrmO2(g) ightarrow mathrmSO2(g) quad Delta H_f = ? Let's write out the given equations along with their enthalpy changes (remembering that exothermic reactions release heat, so Delta H = -Q): 1. mathrmS(g) + frac32mathrmO_2(g) ightarrow mathrmSO_3(g) quad Delta H_1 = -2xtext kcal 2. mathrmSO_2(g) + frac12mathrmO_2(g) ightarrow mathrmSO_3(g) quad Delta H_2 = -ytext kcal To isolate mathrmSO_2(g) on the product side, subtract Equation (2) from Equation (1): left[mathrmS(g) + frac32mathrmO2(g) ight] - left[mathrmSO2(g) + frac12mathrmO2(g) ight] ightarrow mathrmSO3(g) - mathrmSO3(g) mathrmS(g) + mathrmO2(g) ightarrow mathrmSO2(g) Now apply the same operation to the enthalpy values: Delta H_f = Delta H1 - Delta H_2 = -2x - (-y) = y - 2xtext kcal This matches Option (2). ### Pattern Recognition To isolate your target species on the desired side of the equation, use Hess's Law to add or subtract the given elemental equations. Make sure to invert the sign of the enthalpy change if you reverse a reaction. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Thermodynamics
Q33 jee_main_2025_24_jan_morning Spontaneity and Gibbs Energy Change
Let us consider an endothermic reaction which is non-spontaneous at the freezing point of water. However, the reaction is spontaneous at boiling point of water. Choose the correct option.
  • A. Both Delta H and Delta S are (+ve)
  • B. Delta H is (-ve) but Delta S is (+ve)
  • C. Delta H is (+ve) but Delta S is (-ve)
  • D. Both Delta H and Delta S are (-ve)

Solution

### Related Formula Delta G = Delta H - TDelta S ### Core Logic An endothermic profile specifies that Delta H > 0. For the system to become spontaneous (Delta G < 0) specifically when shifting to higher temperatures (T), the temperature-dependent entropic subtraction term (-TDelta S) must outweigh the enthalpic barrier. This transition demands a positive structural entropy step, i.e., Delta S > 0. Hence, both Delta H and Delta S are positive. ### Pattern Recognition Spontaneity driven purely by elevated thermal thresholds mandates matching positive signs for enthalpy and entropy. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Chemical Thermodynamics
