Question 1: Given C(graphite) + O2 (g) → CO2 (g) ; ∆r Ho = −393.5 kJ mol−1

H2 (g) + [1 / 2] O2 (g) → H2O (l) ;

r Ho= −285.8 kJ mol−1

CO2 (g) + 2H2O(l) → CH4 (g) + 2O2 (g) ;

r Ho = +890.3 kJ mol−1

Based on the above thermochemical equations, the value of ∆rHo at 298 K for the reaction C(graphite) + 2H2 (g) → CH4 (g) will be :

  1. 1) −74.8 kJ mol−1
  2. 2) −144.0 kJ mol−1
  3. 3) +74.8 kJ mol−1
  4. 4) +144.0 kJ mol−1

Solution:

  1. Answer: (1)

    C(graphite) + O2 (g) → CO2 (g);

    r Ho = –393.5 kJ mol–1 ...(i)

    H2 (g) + [1 / 2] O2 (g) → H2O (l) ;

    r Ho = −285.8 kJ mol−1 …. (ii)

    CO2 (g) + 2H2O(l) → CH4 (g) + 2O2 (g) ;

    r Ho = +890.3 kJ mol−1 … (iii)

    By applying the operation (i) + 2 × (ii) + (iii), we get

    C(graphite) + 2H2(g) → CH4(g);

    r Ho = –393.5 –285.8 × 2 + 890.3

    = –74.8 kJ mol–1

  1. 1) 74.6%
  2. 2) 94.6%
  3. 3) 64.6%
  4. 4) 80.4%

Solution:

  1. Answer: (2)

    0.45 = i (5.12) [(0.2 / 60) / 20] * 1000

    i = 0.527

    2CH3 COOH [CH3 COOH]2

    (1 - α) α / 2

    i = (1 – α) / 2

    0.527 = 1 – (α / 2)

    α / 2 = 0.473

    α = 0.946

    % association = 94.6%

Solution:

  1. Answer: (3)

    Xe is oxidised from +4 (in XeF4) to +6 (in XeF6)

    Oxygen is reduced from +1 (in O2F2) to zero (in O2)

Solution:

  1. Answer: (2)

    Millimoles of AgNO3 = [(1.2 x 1022) / (6 * 1023)] * 1000 = 20

    Millimoles of CoCl3.6H2O = 0.1 × 100 = 10

    Each mole of CoCl3.6H2O gives two chloride ions.
