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.

Q78 jee_main_2024_29_jan_morning Spontaneity and Gibbs Free Energy
  • A. Delta G text is negative for a spontaneous reaction
  • B. Delta G text is positive for a spontaneous reaction
  • C. Delta G text is zero for a reversible reaction
  • D. Delta G text is positive for a non-spontaneous reaction

Solution

### Core Logic According to the second law of thermodynamics, at constant temperature and pressure, the change in Gibbs free energy (Delta G) dictates the spontaneity of a process. - If Delta G lt 0 (negative), the process is spontaneous. - If Delta G gt 0 (positive), the process is non-spontaneous. - If Delta G = 0, the system is in equilibrium (reversible process). Therefore, the statement "Delta G is positive for a spontaneous reaction" is factually incorrect. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Thermodynamics

Numerical Answer. Answer: 492 to 492

Solution

### Related Formula According to Hess's Law, the net enthalpy change of a reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the individual steps into which it can be divided. ### Core Logic Let the given reactions be: (1) 2mathrmFe_(s) + frac32mathrmO_2(g) rightarrow mathrmFe_2mathrmO_3(s), quad Delta H_1 = -822 \, mathrmkJ/mol (2) mathrmC_(s) + frac12mathrmO_2(g) rightarrow mathrmCO_(g), quad Delta H_2 = -110 \, mathrmkJ/mol Target Reaction (3): 3mathrmC_(s) + mathrmFe_2mathrmO_3(s) rightarrow 2mathrmFe_(s) + 3mathrmCO_(g), quad Delta H_3 = ? To construct the target reaction: - We need 3 mathrmCO_(g) on the product side, so we multiply reaction (2) by 3. - We need mathrmFe_2mathrmO_3(s) on the reactant side and 2 mathrmFe_(s) on the product side, so we reverse reaction (1). ### Step 1: Calculate Net Enthalpy Target Reaction (3) = 3 times (2) - (1) Delta H_3 = 3 times Delta H_2 - Delta H_1 Delta H_3 = 3(-110) - (-822) Delta H_3 = -330 + 822 = 492 \, mathrmkJ/mol ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Thermodynamics

Numerical Answer. Answer: 200 to 200

Solution

### Related Formula W_textcyclic = textArea enclosed in P-V graph ### Core Logic The work done in a cyclic process is equal to the magnitude of the area enclosed by the cycle on a Pressure-Volume graph. Note that the provided graph is Volume (V) on the y-axis versus Pressure (P) on the x-axis. The path A rightarrow B rightarrow C rightarrow A is traced in a clockwise direction on the V-P graph. Clockwise on a V-P graph corresponds to anti-clockwise on a standard P-V graph, meaning net expansion work is done by the gas, making it positive conventionally (or negative depending on chemistry sign convention, but magnitude is asked for). ### Step 1: Calculating Area The enclosed region is a right-angled triangle. Base of triangle on P-axis = 30 - 10 = 20 text kPa Height of triangle on V-axis = 30 - 10 = 20 text dm^3 textArea = frac12 times textbase times textheight textArea = frac12 times 20 times 20 = 200 text kPacdottextdm^3 ### Step 2: Unit conversion 1 text kPa = 10^3 text Pa 1 text dm^3 = 1 text Litre = 10^-3 text m^3 W = 200 times 10^3 text Pa times 10^-3 text m^3 W = 200 text J ### Pattern Recognition 1 text kPa cdot 1 text L = 1 text Joule.

Numerical Answer. Answer: 28720 to 28721

Solution

### 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
