Water has a unique property where the density of the liquid phase is greater than the density of the solid phase (ice). Consequently, the molar volume of ice is larger than that of liquid water: According to Le Chatelier's Principle, increasing the pressure favors the phase that occupies a smaller volume to alleviate the applied stress. Thus, shifting the system forward converts ice into liquid water: If the pressure is increased considerably (such as doubling it to 2 atm) at 273.15K, the melting point decreases, causing the entire solid phase (ice) to disappear completely. Sees: Ice-water system under pressure change. Trap: Assuming that an increase in pressure always favors the solid phase. Water has an anomalous phase curve with a negative slope.

D. $378K$ $378\mathrm{K}$ and $500J$ $500\mathrm{J}$

Solution

Formulas Used

For an ideal gas undergoing a constant pressure process ( $1.00 atm$ $1.00\text{ atm}$):

qₚ = n \cdot Cₚ \cdot Δ T

Change in internal energy ( $Δ U$ $\Delta U$):

Δ U = n \cdot Cv \cdot Δ T

For a monoatomic gas like Argon:

$Cv = (3)/(2) R$ $C_v = \frac{3}{2} R$
$Cₚ = (5)/(2) R$ $C_p = \frac{5}{2} R$

Core Logic

Step 1: Calculate the final temperature ( $Tf$ $T_f$) Heat transferred at constant pressure ( $qₚ$ $q_p$) = $500 J$ $500\text{ J}$

500 = 0.5 \times ((5)/(2) \times 8.3) \times (Tf - 298)

500 = 0.5 \times 20.75 \times (Tf - 298)

500 = 10.375 \times (Tf - 298)

Tf - 298 = (500)/(10.375) \approx 48.2 K

Tf = 298 + 48.2 = 346.2 K \approx 348 K

---

Step 2: Calculate the change in internal energy ( $Δ U$ $\Delta U$)

Δ U = n \cdot Cv \cdot Δ T

Alternatively, using the ratio of heat capacities:

Δ U = ((Cv)/(Cₚ)) \times qₚ = (3)/(5) \times 500 J = 300 J

Thus, the final temperature is $348 K$ $348\text{ K}$ and the change in internal energy is $300 J$ $300\text{ J}$.

Pattern Recognition

For a monoatomic ideal gas under constant pressure, exactly $60%$ $60\%$ of the heat added ( $(Cv)/(Cₚ) = (3)/(5)$ $\frac{C_v}{C_p} = \frac{3}{5}$) goes into increasing the internal energy ( $Δ U$ $\Delta U$), while $40%$ $40\%$ is lost to expansion work ( $W$ $W$).

Correct Option: (A)

Q79 jee_main_2024_01_february_morning First Law of Thermodynamics

Choose the correct option for free expansion of an ideal gas under adiabatic condition from the following:

A. $q = 0, Δ T \neq 0, w = 0$ $q = 0, \Delta T \neq 0, w = 0$
B. $q = 0, Δ T < 0, w \neq 0$ $q = 0, \Delta T < 0, w \neq 0$
C. $q \neq 0, Δ T = 0, w = 0$ $q \neq 0, \Delta T = 0, w = 0$
D. $q = 0, Δ T = 0, w = 0$ $q = 0, \Delta T = 0, w = 0$

Solution

Core Logic

Free expansion means expansion against a vacuum ( $Pₑₓₜ = 0$ $P_{ext} = 0$). Work done: $w = -Pₑₓₜ Δ V$ $w = -P_{ext} \Delta V$. Since $Pₑₓₜ = 0$ $P_{ext} = 0$, $w = 0$ $w = 0$.

Adiabatic condition means there is no heat exchange with the surroundings. Heat transfer: $q = 0$ $q = 0$.

According to the First Law of Thermodynamics, $Δ U = q + w$ $\Delta U = q + w$. Since $q = 0$ $q = 0$ and $w = 0$ $w = 0$, the change in internal energy $Δ U = 0$ $\Delta U = 0$.

For an ideal gas, internal energy is a function of temperature only ( $Δ U = nCvΔ T$ $\Delta U = nC_v\Delta T$). If $Δ U = 0$ $\Delta U = 0$, then $Δ T = 0$ $\Delta T = 0$.

Step 1: Final Parameter Check

Evaluating all parameters simultaneously: $q = 0$ $q = 0$ $w = 0$ $w = 0$ $Δ T = 0$ $\Delta T = 0$

Pattern Recognition

Adiabatic + Free Expansion of IDEAL gas $arrow$ $\rightarrow$ Nothing changes thermodynamically except volume and pressure. $q = 0, w = 0, Δ U = 0, Δ T = 0, Δ H = 0$ .

Solution

Q = n \times Δ Hvap⁰ where n = MassMolar Mass

Core Logic

First, calculate the molar mass of carbon tetrachloride ( $CCl₄$ $\mathrm{CCl}_4$):

Molar mass = 12 + 4(35.5) = 12 + 142 = 154 g/mol

Next, calculate the total number of moles present in $284 g$ $284\text{ g}$ of the substance:

n = (284)/(154) \approx 1.844 moles

Step 1: Enthalpy Calculation

Calculate the total energy required for vaporization:

Δ H = 1.844 mol \times 30.5 kJ/mol \approx 56.24 kJ

Rounding to the nearest integer value gives 56.

Pattern Recognition

Enthalpy of vaporization is an intensive property given per mole. Scale it linearly by multiplying by the total number of moles to find the total extensive heat required.

Numerical Answer. Answer: 1200 to 1200

Solution

Related Formula

First law of thermodynamics framework:

Δ U = Q + W

For an isothermal processes involving ideal gases, internal energy change is zero:

Δ U = 0 Q = -W

Irreversible work formula expanding against constant external pressure:

W = -Pₑₓₜ Δ V = -Pₑₓₜ(V₂ - V₁)

Step 1: Calculate structural work values

Given values:

Pₑₓₜ = 80 kPa = 80 \times 10³ Pa

V₁ = 30 dm³ = 30 \times 10⁻³ m³

V₂ = 45 dm³ = 45 \times 10⁻³ m³

Δ V = (45 - 30) \times 10⁻³ = 15 \times 10⁻³ m³

W = -80 \times 10³ \times (15 \times 10⁻³) = -1200 J

Step 2: Solve for heat magnitude

$Q = -W = -(-1200 J) = 1200 J

Q jee_main_2024_29_jan_morning Spontaneity and Gibbs Free Energy

Which of the following is not correct?

A. $Δ G is negative for a spontaneous reaction$
B. $Δ G is positive for a spontaneous reaction$
C. $Δ G is zero for a reversible reaction$
D. $Δ G is positive for a non-spontaneous reaction$

Solution

Core Logic

According to the second law of thermodynamics, at constant temperature and pressure, the change in Gibbs free energy ( $Δ G$ $\Delta G$) dictates the spontaneity of a process.

If $Δ G lt 0$ $\Delta G \lt 0$ (negative), the process is spontaneous.
If $Δ G gt 0$ $\Delta G \gt 0$ (positive), the process is non-spontaneous.
If $Δ G = 0$ $\Delta G = 0$, the system is in equilibrium (reversible process).

Therefore, the statement " $Δ G$ $\Delta G$ is positive for a spontaneous reaction" is factually incorrect.
