Q68 jee_main_2026_21_jan_morning Work Done in PV Graph
Which of the following graphs between pressure ‘P’ versus volume ‘V’ represent the maximum work done?
  • A. textOption 1
  • B. textOption 2
  • C. textOption 3
  • D. textOption 4

Solution

### Core Logic The magnitude of work done by or on a gas is given by the area under the P-V curve projected onto the volume axis. Graph 1: Cyclic process forming a triangle. Area is bounded, represents net work. Graph 2: Isochoric drop (vertical line at V=22.4L). Area = 0, so work done is zero. Graph 3: Expansion process forming a cycle. Area is enclosed in a convex shape. Graph 4: Direct expansion from V=22.4 to V=44.8 at pressure P=1 up to P=2 (a rectangle combined with a triangle). The total area under the upper curve from V=22.4 to V=44.8 covers the entire shaded region under the path down to the V-axis. Option (4) provides the largest total area under the curve extending down to the horizontal axis (maximum magnitude of work done). ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Thermodynamics

Solution

### Core Logic Let's analyze the statements based on the given Gibbs free energy (G) vs. extent of reaction plot.
Gibbs Free Energy and Equilibrium diagram for Q69 - JEE Main 2026 Morning
A plot of Gibbs free energy against the fraction of N2O4 dissociated.
A. Standard free energy change (Delta_r G^circ) is the difference between standard free energies of pure products (point B) and pure reactants (point A): Delta_r G^circ = G_B^circ - G_A^circ. Since B is higher than A, Delta_r G^circ is positive, not -5.40text kJ mol^-1. Statement A is false. B. Even if Delta_r G^circ is positive, the minimum of the curve (equilibrium state E) lies between the pure reactant and product states. Therefore, partial dissociation occurs to reach equilibrium. It is false to say it will not dissociate at all. Statement B is false. C. The minimum E is not at fraction = 0 or 1, meaning an equilibrium mixture exists. Reverse reaction does not go to completion. Statement C is false. D. From 1 mole of pure reactant (point A) to the equilibrium mixture (point E), the drop in Gibbs energy is 0.84text kJ mol^-1. Thus Delta G = -0.84text kJ mol^-1 is correct. Statement D is true. E. The difference from pure products (point B, equivalent to 2 moles NO_2) to equilibrium (E) is the entire vertical distance. The drop from B to A is 5.40, and A to E is 0.84. So drop from B to E is - (5.40 + 0.84) = -6.24text kJ mol^-1. Statement E is true. ### Step 1: Final Conclusion Only statements D and E are correct. ### Pattern Recognition The free energy of mixing creates a minimum 'dip' (Equilibrium) below both pure reactants and pure products, preventing either forward or reverse reactions from going absolutely to 100% completion. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Thermodynamics Class 11 Chemistry: Equilibrium

Enthalpy change (Delta_r H^circ): Delta_r H^circ = [2 times Delta_f H^circ(AB)] - [Delta_f H^circ(A_2) + Delta_f H^circ(B_2)] Delta_r H^circ = (2 times 32) - (6 + x) = (64 - 6 - x) = (58 - x)text kJ mol^-1 2. Entropy change (Delta_r S^circ): Delta_r S^circ = [2 times S^circ(AB)] - [S^circ(A_2) + S^circ(B_2)] Delta_r S^circ = (2 times 222) - (146 + 280) = 444 - 426 = 18text J K^-1text mol^-1 3. Standard Gibbs Free Energy (Delta_r G^circ) via Equilibrium Constant: Delta_r G^circ = -2.303 times R times T log K Delta_r G^circ = -2.303 times 8.314 times 500 times 2.2 = -21063.8text J mol^-1 = -21.06text kJ mol^-1 4. Using Gibbs Equation: Delta_r G^circ = Delta_r H^circ - TDelta_r S^circ -21.06 = (58 - x) - 500 times left(frac181000right) -21.06 = 58 - x - 9 -21.06 = 49 - x x = 49 + 21.06 = 70.06text kJ mol^-1 Rounding off to nearest integer, x = 70. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Thermodynamics Class 11 Chemistry: Equilibrium
