Answer:
The heat changes in chemical reactions are equal to the difference in internal energy (∆U) or heat content (∆H) of the products and reactants, depending upon whether the reaction is studied at constant volume or constant pressure. Since ∆U and ∆H are functions of the state of the system, the heat evolved or absorbed in a given reaction depends only on the initial state and final state of the system and not on the path or the steps by which the change takes place.

Kelvin-Planck statement: It is impossible to take heat from a hotter reservoir and convert a cyclic process heat to a cooler reservoir.
Question 40.
The equilibrium constant of a reaction is 10, what will be the sign of ∆G? Will this reaction be spontaneous?
Answer:
∆G = -2.303 RT logKeq
Substituting the known values of R, T and Keq
R = 8.314(JK-1 mol-1)
T = 300 K
Keq = 10
∆G = –2.303 8.314(JK-1) 300(K) log 10
= -5744.14 J/mol
= -5.744 KJ/mol
∆G < 0, then it is spontaneous.
Question 41.
Enthalpy of neutralization is always a constant when a strong acid is neutralized by a strong base: account for the statement.
Answer:
- Enthalpy of neutralization of a strong acid by a strong base is always a constant and it is equal to -57.32 kJ irrespective of which acid or base is used.
- Because strong acid or strong base means it is completely ionized in solution state. For e.g., NaOH (strong base) is neutralized by HCl (strong acid), due to their complete ionization, the net reaction takes place is only water formation.
So the enthalpy of neutralization is always constant for strong acid by a strong base.
H+Cl– + Na+OH– → Na+Cl– + H2O
H+NO3+ + K+OH– → K+NO3++ H2O
(Net reaction) H+ + OH– → H2O ∆H = -57.32 kJ
Question 42.

limT→0 S = 0 for a perfectly ordered crystalline state.
Question 43.
Write down the Born-Haber cycle for the formation of CaCl2.
Answer:
Step 1:
Solid calcium is converted to gaseous state (Enthalpy of atomization)
Ca(S) → Ca(g) Ca(g) ∆H°a = 178 KJ/mol
Step 2:
The calcium is converted to ionic form
(divalent cation): (Ionisation enthalpy)
Ca → Ca+ + e– ∆H°IE = 590 kJ
Ca → Ca2+ + e– ∆H°IE = 590 KJ
Step 3:
Atomisation of chlorine molecule to chlorine atom: (Atomisation enthalpy)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)Cl2 → Cl ∆H°Cl-Cl = 121 KJ
For two chlorine atoms required, atomistion energy = 2 × 121 = 242 KJ/mol
Step 4:
Convrsion of chlorine atom into ion:(Electron affinity)
Cl + e– → Cl–; ∆H°ea = – 364KJ
Step 5:
Finally the two ions join together by lattice energy as: (here two Cl– ions are involved)
Ca2+ + 2Cl– → CaCl2
Hence Lattice energy = Heat of formation – heat of atomization – dissociation energy – (sum of ionization energies) – (sum of electron affinities)
Since, heat of formation (i.e standard enthalpy of formation ) of CaCl2 = – 796KJ/mol
Lattice energy = -796 -178 -242 -(590 + 1145) – (2 × – 364) = -2223KJ/mol

% Efficiency < 100%
4. Clausius statement:
Heat flows spontaneously from hot objects to cold objects and to get it to flow in the opposite direction, we have to spend some work.
Question 46.
What are spontaneous reactions? What are the conditions for the spontaneity of a process?
Answer:
- A reaction that occurs under the given set of conditions without any external driving force is called a spontaneous reaction.
- The spontaneity of any process depends on three different factors.
- If the enthalpy change of a process is negative, then the process is exothermic and may be spontaneous. (∆H is negative)
- If the entropy change of a process is positive, then the process may occur spontaneously. (∆S is positive)
- The gibbs free energy which is the combination of the above two (∆H – T∆S) should be negative for a reaction to occur spontaneously, i.e. the necessary condition for a reaction to be spontaneous is ∆H – T∆S < 0
- For spontaneous process,
∆Stotal > 0, ∆G < 0, ∆S < 0
Question 47.
List the characteristics of internal energy.
Answer:
- The internal energy of a system is an extensive property. It depends on the number of substances present in the system.
- The internal energy of a system is a state function. It depends only upon the state variables (T, P, V. n) of the system.
- The change in internal energy is as ∆U = U2 – U1
- In a cyclic process, there is no energy change. ∆U(cyclic) = 0.
- If the internal energy of the system at the final state (Uf) is less than the internal energy of the
system at its initial state (Ui), then ∆U would be negative. - if Uf < Ui ∆U = Uf – Ui = -ve
- if Uf > Ui ∆U = Uf – Ui = +ve
Question 48.
Explain how heat absorbed at constant volume is measured using a bomb calorimeter with a neat diagram.
Answer:
The calorimeter is used for measuring the amount of heat change in a chemical or physical change. In calorimetry, the temperature change in the process is measured which is directly proportional to the heat capacity. By using the expression C = \(\frac{q}{m \Delta T}\), we can calculate the amount of heat change in the process. Calorimetric measurements are made under two different conditions
(i) At constant volume (qV)
(ii) At constant pressure (qp)
(A) ∆U Measurements:
For chemical reactions, heat evolved at constant volume, is measured in a bomb calorimeter.
The inner vessel (the bomb) and its cover are made of strong steel. The cover is fitted tightly to the vessel by means of metal lid and screws.
A weighed amount of the substance is taken in a platinum cup connected with electrical wires for striking an arc instantly to kindle combustion. The bomb is then tightly closed and pressurized with excess oxygen. The bomb is immersed in water, in the inner volume of the calorimeter. A stirrer is placed in the space between the wall of the calorimeter and the bomb, so that water can be stirred, uniformly. The reaction is started by striking the substance through electrical heating.
A known amount of combustible substance is burnt in oxygen in the bomb. Heat evolved during the reaction is absorbed by the calorimeter as well as the water in which the bomb is immersed. The change in temperature is measured using a Beckman thermometer. Since the bomb is sealed its volume does not change and hence the heat measurements is equal to the heat of combustion at a constant volume (∆U)c.
The amount of heat produced in the reaction (∆U)c is, equal to the sum of the heat abosrbed by the calorimeter and water.
Heat absorbed by the calorimeter
q1 = k.∆T
where k is a calorimeter constant equal to mc Cc ( me is mass of the calorimeter and Cc is heat capacity of calorimeter)
Heat absorbed by the water q2 = mw Cw ∆T
where mw is molar mass of water
Cw is molar heat capacity of water (4,184 kJ K-1 mol-1)
Therefore ∆Uc = q1 + q2
= k.∆T + mw Cw ∆T
= (k + mw Cw)∆T
Calorimeter constant can be determined by burning a known mass of standard sample (benzoic acid) for which the heat of combustion is known (-3227 kJ mol-1). The enthalpy of combustion at constant pressure of the substance is calculated from the equation
∆H°c (pressure) = ∆U°c (Vol) + ∆ngRT
Question 49.
Calculate the work involved in expansion and 1 compression process.
Answer:
Work involved in expansion and compression processes:
In most thermodynamic calculations we are dealing with the evaluation of work involved in the expansion or compression of gases. The essential condition for expansion or compression of a system; is that there should be difference between external pressure (Pext) and internal pressure (Pint).
For understanding pressure-volume work, let us consider a cylinder which contains V moles of an ideal gas fitted with a frictionless piston of cross sectional area A. The total volume of the gas inside is V and pressure of the gas inside is Pint. If the external pressure Pext is greater than Pint, the piston moves inward till the pressure inside becomes equal to Pext. Let this change be achieved in a single step
and the final volume be Vf.In this case, the work is done on the system (+w). It can be calculated as follows
w = -F.∆x ……….(1)
where dx is the distance moved by the piston during the compression and F is the force acting on the gas.
F = PextA ……….(2)
Substituting (2) in (1)
w = – Pext. A. ∆x
A .∆x = change in volume = Vf – Vi
w = -Pext.{Vf – Vi) ……….(3)
w = -Pext. (-∆V) …………(4)
= Pext.∆V
Since work is done on the system, it is a positive quantity.
If the pressure is not constant, but changes during the process such that it is always infinitesimally greater than the pressure of the gas, then, at each stage of compression, the volume decreases by an infinitesimal amount, dV. In such a case we can calculate the work done on the gas by the relation
Wrev = – \(\int_{V_{i}}^{v_{f}}\) pext dV.
In a compression process, Pext the external pressure is always greater than the pressure of the system.
i.e., Pext = (Pint + dP)
In an expansion process, the external pressure is always less than the pressure of the system
i.e., Pext = (Pint – dP)
When pressure is not constant and changes in infinitesimally small steps (reversible conditions) during compression from Vi to Vf. the P-V plot looks like in figure. Work done on the gas is represented by the shaded area.
In general case we can write,
Pext = (Pint ± dP). Such processes are called reversible processes. For a compression process work can be related to internal pressure of the system under reversible conditions by writing equation
Wrev = – \(\int_{V_{i}}^{v_{f}}\) Pint dV
For a given system with an ideal gas
Pint V = nRT
pint = \(\frac{n R T}{V}\)
Wrev = – \(\int_{V_{i}}^{v_{f}}\) \(\frac{n R T}{V}\) dV
Wrev = – nRTln(\(\frac{V_{f}}{V_{i}}\))
Wrev= -2.303nRTlog\(\frac{V_{f}}{V_{i}}\) ………….(5)
If Vf > Vi (expansion), the sign of work done by the process is negative.
If Vf < Vi (compression) the sign of work done on the process is positive.
Question 50.
Derive the relation between ∆H and ∆U for an ideal gas. Explain each term involved in the equation.
Answer:
1. When the system at constant pressure undergoes changes from an initial state with H1, U1, V1 and P parameters to a final state with H2, U2, V2 and P parameters, the change in enthalpy ∆H, is given by
AH = U + PV
2. At initial state H1 = U1 + PV1 ………(1)
At final state H1 = U1 + PV1 ……..(2)
(2) – (1) ⇒ (H2 – H1) = (U2 – U1) + P(V2 – V1)
∆H = ∆U + P∆V …………(3)
Considering ∆U = q + w ; w = -P∆V
∆H = q + w + P∆V
∆H = qp – P∆V+ P∆V
∆H = qp …………(4)
qp is the heat absorbed at constant pressure and is considered as heat content.
3. Consider a closed system of gases which are chemically reacting to produce product gases at constant temperature and pressure with V. and as the total volumes of the reactant and product gases respectively, and n1 and nf are the number of moles of gaseous reactants
and products. Then,
For reactants: P Vi = ni RT
For products: P Vf = nf RT
Then considering reactants as initial state and products as final state,
P (Vi – Vi) = (ni – ni) RT
P∆V = ∆ng RT
∆H = ∆U + P∆V
∆H = ∆U + ∆ng RT ……….(5)
Question 51.
Suggest and explain an indirect method to calculate lattice enthalpy of sodium chloride crystal.
Answer:
The formation of NaCl can be considered in five steps. The sum of the enthalpy changes of these steps is equal to the enthalpy change for the overall reaction from which the lattice enthalpy of NaCl is calculated.
Let us calculate the lattice energy of sodium chloride using Bom-Haber cycle
∆H = heat of formation of sodium chloride = -411.3 kJmol-1
∆H1 = heat of sublimation of Na(s) = 108.7 kJmol-1
∆H2 = ionisation energy of Na(s) = 495. kJ mol-1
∆H3 = dissociation energy of Cl2(g) = 244 kJ mol-1
∆H4 = Electron affinity of Cl(g) = -349 kJ mol-1
U = lattice energy of NaCl
∆Hf = ∆H1 + ∆H2 + ∆H3 + ∆H4 + U
∴ U = (∆Hf ) – (∆H1 + ∆H2 + \(\frac{1}{2}\)∆H3 + ∆H4)
=» U = (-411.3) – (108.7 + 495.0 + 122 – 349)
U = (-411.3) – (376.7)
∴ U = -788kJ mol-1
Question 52.
List the characteristics of Gibbs free energy.
Answer:
Characteristics of Gibbs free energy:
1. Gibbs free energy is defined as the part of the total energy of a system that can be converted (or) available for conversion into work.
G = H – TS ………..(1)
Where
H = enthalpy, T = temperature and S = entropy
2. G is a state function and is a single value function.
3. G is an extensive property, whereas ∆G becomes intensive property for a closed system. Both G and ∆G values correspond to the system only.
4. ∆G gives criteria for spontaneity at constant pressure and temperature.
- If ∆G is negative (∆G < O), the process is spontaneous.
- If ∆G is positive (∆G > O), the process is non-spontaneous.
- If ∆G is zero (AG = O), the process is equilibrium.
5. For any system at constant pressure and temperature,
∆G = ∆H – T∆S ……….. (2)
We know AH = ∆U + P∆V
∆G = ∆U + P∆V – T∆S ………(3)
6. For the first law of thermodynamics, ∆U = q + w
∆G= q+ w+P∆V – T∆S …………(4)
For second law of thermodynamics, ∆S = \(\frac {q}{T}\)
∆G = q + w + P∆V – T\(\frac {q}{T}\)
∆G = w + P∆V …………(5)
∆G = – w – P∆V ……….(6)
7. – P∆V represent the work done due to expansion against constant external pressure. Therefore, it is clear that the decrease in free energy (-∆G) accompanying a process taking place at constant temperature and pressure is equal to the maximum work obtainable from the system other than the work of expansion.
8. Unit of Gibb’s free energy is J mol-1
Question 53.

II. Very short question and answers (2 Marks):
Question 1.
What is the aim of the study of chemical thermodynamics?
Answer:
The main aim of the study of chemical thermodynamics is to learn
- Transformation of energy from one form into another form.
- Utilization of various forms of energies.
- Change in the properties of system produced by chemical or physical effects.
Question 2.
What is a homogeneous system? Give an example.
Answer:
A system is called homogeneous if the physical state of all its constituents is the same. Example: a mixture of gases.
Question 3.
What are the limitations of thermodynamics?
Answer:
- Thermodynamics suggests the feasibility of reaction but fails to suggest the rate of reaction. It is concerned only with the initial and the final states of the system. It is not concerned with the path by which the change occurs.
- It does not reveal the mechanism of a process.
Question 4.
Define irreversible process.
Answer:
The process in which the system and surrounding cannot be restored to the initial state from the final state is called an irreversible process. All the processes occurring in nature are irreversible processes.
Question 5.
Define standard entropy change.
Answer:
The absolute entropy of a substance at 298 K and one bar pressure is called the standard entropy S°.
Question 6.
What is Zeroth law of thermodynamics?
Answer:
The law states that’ If two systems are separately in thermal equilibrium with a third one, then they tends to be in thermal equilibrium with themselves’.
Question 7.
What is meant by open system? Give example.
Answer:
- A system which can exchange both matter and energy with its surroundings is called an open system.
- Hot water contained in an open beaker is an example for open system.
- In this system, both water vapour and heat is transferred to the surroundings through the imaginary boundary.
- All living things are open systems because they continuously exchange matter and energy with the surroundings.
Question 8.
Define the specific heat capacity of a system.
Answer:
The heat absorbed by one kilogram of a substance to raise its temperature by one Kelvin at a specified temperature.
Question 9.
What is a reversible process?
Answer:
The process in which the system and surrounding can be restored to the initial state from the final state without producing any changes in the thermodynamic properties of the universe is called a reversible process.
Question 10.
What is a thermodynamic process? Give two examples.
Answer:
The method of operation which can bring about a change in the system is called thermodynamic process.
Examples: Heating, Cooling, expansion.
Question 11.
Distinguish between state function and path function.
Answer:
A state function is a thermodynamic property of a system, which has a specific value for a given state and does not depend on the path by which the particular state is reached. A path function is a thermodynamic property of the system whose value depends on the path by which the system changes from its initial to final states.
Question 12.
Write any two characteristics of internal energy.
Answer:
- The internal energy of a system is an extensive property.
- The internal energy of a system is a state function.
Question 13.
Write the importance of internal energy.
Answer:
The internal energy possessed by a substance differentiates its physical structure. For example, the allotropes of carbon, namely, graphite C (graphite) and diamond C (diamond), differ from each other because they possess different internal energies and have different structures.
Question 14.
Write notes on heat.
Answer:
The heat (q) is regarded as an energy in transit across the boundary separating a system from its surrounding. Heat changes lead to temperature differences between system and surrounding. Heat is a path function.
Question 15.
Write the thermodynamic significance of work.
Answer:
The work
- is a path function.
- appears only at the boundary of the system.
- appears during the change in the state of the system.
- in thermodynamics, surroundings is so large that macroscopic changes to surroundings do not happen.
Question 16.
What is meant by pressure-volume work?
Answer:
In elementary thermodynamics the only type of work generally considered is the work done in expansion (or compression) of a gas. This is known as pressure-volume work, PV work or expansion work.
Question 17.
What is specific heat capacity of a system?
Answer:
The heat absorbed by one kilogram of a substance to raise its temperature by one Kelvin at a specified temperature is called specific heat capacity of a system.
Question 18.
Distinguish between Cv and Cp.
Answer:
The molar heat capacity at constant volume (Cv) is defined as the rate of change of internal energy with respect to temperature at constant volume. The molar heat capacity at constant pressure (Cp) can be defined as the rate of change of enthalpy with respect to temperature at constant pressure.
III. Short Question and Answers (3 Marks):
Question 1.
What is internal energy?
Answer:
The internal energy of a system is equal to the energy possessed by all its constituents namely atoms, ions and molecules. The total energy of all molecules in a system is equal to the sum of their translational energy (Ut), vibrational energy (Uv), rotational energy (Ur), bond energy (Ub), electronic energy (Ue) and energy due to molecular interactions (Ui).
Thus:
U = Ut + Uv + Ur + Ub + Ue + Ui
The total energy of all the molecules of the system is called internal energy.
Question 2.
Give applications of bomb calorimeter.
Answer:
- Bomb calorimeter is used to determine the amount of heat released in combustion reaction.
- It is used to determine the calorific value of food.
- Bomb calorimeter is used in many industries such as metabolic study, food processing, explosive testing etc.
Question 3.
What is Molar heat of fusion?
Answer:
The molar heat of fusion is defined as “the change in enthalpy when one mole of a solid substance is converted into the liquid state at its melting point”.
For example, the heat of fusion of ice
H2O(s) → H2O(l)
∆H(fusion) = +5.98 kJ
Question 4.
Write any three statements of first law of thermodynamics.
Answer:
- Whenever an energy of a particular type disappears, an equivalent amount of another type must be produced.
- The total energy of a system and surrounding remains constant (or conserved)
- “Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but may be converted from one form to another”.
Question 5.
Describe the need for the second law of thermodynamics.
Answer:
From the first law of thermodynamics, the energy of the universe is conserved. Let us consider the following processes:
A glass of hot water over time loses heat energy to the surrounding and becqmes cold.
When you mix hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide, it forms sodium chloride and water with evolution of heat.
In both these processes, the total energy is conserved and are consistent with the first law of thermodynamics. However, the reverse process i.e. cold water becoming hot water by absorbing heat from surrounding on its own does not occur spontaneously even though the energy change involved in this process is also consistent with the first law. However, if the heat energy is supplied to cold water, then it will become hot. i.e. the change that does not occur spontaneously and an be driven by supplying energy.
Question 6.
Write notes on entropy statement of second law of thermodynamics.
Answer:
The second law of thermodynamics can be expressed in terms of entropy, i.e “the entropy of an isolated system increases during a spontaneous process”.
For an irreversible process such as spontaneous expansion of a gas,
Stotal > 0
Stotal > Ssystem + Ssurrounding
i.e., Suniverse > Ssystem + Ssurrounding
For a reversible process such as melting of ice,
Ssystem = Ssurrounding
Suniverse = 0
IV. Long Question and Answers(5 Marks):
Question 1.
Explain steps to write thermochemical equations.
Answer:
A thermochemical equation is a balanced stoichiometric chemical equation that includes the enthalpy change (∆H). The following conventions are adopted in thermochemical equations:
- The coefficients in a balanced thermochemical equation refer to number of moles of reactants and products involved in the reaction.
- The enthalpy change of the reaction ∆Hr has to be specified with appropriate sign and unit.
- When the chemical reaction is reversed, the value of ∆H is reversed in sign with the same magnitude.
- The physical states (gas, liquid, aqueous, solid in brackets) of all species are important and must be specified in a thermochemical reaction, since ∆H depends on the physical state of reactants and products.
- If the thermochemical equation is multiplied throughout by a number, the enthalpy change is also multiplied by the same number.
- The negative sign of ∆Hr indicates that the reaction is exothermic and the positive sign of ∆Hr indicates an endothermic reaction.
