One mole of an ideal gas expands isothermally and reversibly from 10mathrm~dm^3 to 20mathrm~dm^3 at 300mathrm~K. Delta U, q and work done in the process respectively are: Given: R = 8.3mathrm~J~K^-1~mol^-1, ln 10 = 2.3, log 2 = 0.30, log 3 = 0.48

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula Delta U = n C_v Delta T w = -n R T lnleft(fracV_2V_1right) Delta U = q + w ### Core Logic Since the expansion step is strictly **isothermal** (Delta T = 0): Delta U = 0 Now compute the work command parameter w: w = -n R T lnleft(fracV_2V_1right) = -1 cdot 8.3 cdot 300 cdot lnleft(frac2010 ight) w = -2490 cdot ln(2) = -2490 cdot (2.3 cdot log 2) w = -2490 cdot (2.3 cdot 0.30) = -2490 cdot 0.69 = -1718.1mathrm~J = -1.718mathrm~kJ Applying the first law equation constraint: q = -w = +1.718mathrm~kJ Hence, Delta U = 0, q = 1.718mathrm~kJ, w = -1.718mathrm~kJ. ### Pattern Recognition Isothermal expansion of an ideal gas ALWAYS yields Delta U = 0. Work is negative (done by system) and heat exchange q matches work magnitude inversely. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Chemical Thermodynamics

Q28 2025 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 2025 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
Q33 2025 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

Numerical Answer. Answer: 700 to 700

Solution

### Related Formula Delta S_textrxn^0 = sum S_textproducts^0 - sum S_textreactants^0 quad textand quad T = fracDelta H^0Delta S^0 quad textat equilibrium (Delta G^0 = 0text) ### Core Logic First, calculate the standard entropy change for the reaction system (Delta S_textrxn^0): Delta S_textrxn^0 = S^0(XY_5) - left[ frac12S^0(X_2) + frac52S^0(Y_2) right] Delta S_textrxn^0 = 110 - left[ left(frac12 times 70right) + left(frac52 times 50right) right] = 110 - [35 + 125] Delta S_textrxn^0 = 110 - 160 = -50text J K^-1text mol^-1 At thermodynamic equilibrium, the change in Gibbs free energy drops to zero (Delta G^0 = 0): 0 = Delta H^0 - TDelta S^0 implies T = fracDelta H^0Delta S^0 Convert the enthalpy value into Joules (Delta H^0 = -35 times 10^3text J/mol) and substitute the parameters: T = frac-35000text J mol^-1-50text J K^-1text mol^-1 = 700text Kelvin ### Pattern Recognition Ensure all variables use matching energy units (Joules vs. Kilojoules) before setting up your final division step. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Chemical Thermodynamics
