ANSWERS TO ASSIGNMENT PROBLEMS


Subjective: Level - O 1. Since sublimation involves the process Hs Solid > Vapour .. (1) Hf Hv

or Solid > Liquid > Vapour ...... (2) By (1) and (2), Hs > Hs + Hv 2. At all temperature conditions, H < 0 and S > 0, so that HG < 0. 3. It is so because only H+ and OH react in every case and it is the enthalpy of formation of water. 4. (i) When number of molecules of products are more than number of molecules in the reactants. (ii) When solid state changes to liquid state. (iii) When liquid state changes to gaseous state. (iv) When solid changes to gaseous state. 5. Solute molecules also set free to move in solution and thus disorder increases. 6. The system: ice water at m. pt., is in equilibrium and thus G = 0. 7. G = H TS; since the reaction proceeds to completion that is irreversible or spontaneous and thus G = ve. Therefore, since H = +ve... H TS = ve orS. should be +ve. 8. The standard state chosen for carbon is graphite and not diamond.

9. No, because it is the sum of different types of energies and some of which can not be determined? 10. Heat evolved will be different. This is because they have different crystal structure. 11. Because all chemical reactions are accompanied by bond rearrangements. The total bond energy of reactants is not equal to the total bond energy of products hence heat is either evolved or absorbed. 12. Sublimation is a process which is assumed to take place in two step: First a solid converts into liquid and second a liquid converts into vapours hence the sum of enthalpy of fusion and enthalpy of vapourisation is equal to enthalpy of sublimation. 13. In an ideal gas, there are no intermolecular forces of attraction. Hence no energy is required to overcome these forces. Moreover, when a gas expands against vacuum, work done is zero (because Pext = 0). Hence internal energy of the system does not change i.e. there is no absorption or evolution of heat. 14.-212.76 kcal 15.-29.00 kcal 16.Chemical energy 18. Zero 19. 2.4 102 20.
