Select incorrect statement(s):

chemistry chemical thermodynamics system and surroundings introduction to thermodynamics basics of thermodynamics

  1. A closed system with all adiabatic boundaries must be an isolated system

  2. Total heat exchange in a cyclic process may be zero

  3. Entropy of a closed system is maximum at equilibrium

  4. Molar gibb's Energy is an extensive property

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Since heat is energy, only two systems can stop it from crossing the boundary closed and isolated system. So yes, adiabatic process can happen in an isolated system. But all adiabatic process need not happen in an isolated system, it can happen in a closed system also.

Two closed vessel $A$ and $B$ of equal volume of $8.21L$ are connected by a narrow tube of negligible volume with open valve. The left hand side container id found to contain $3\ mole \, CO _2$ and $2\ mole$ of $He$ at $400K$. What is the partial pressure of $He$ in vessel $B$ at $500K$?

chemistry chemical thermodynamics system and surroundings introduction to thermodynamics basics of thermodynamics

  1. 2.4 atm

  2. 8 atm

  3. 12 atm

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

partial pressure of $He$ in vessel $B$, 

$PV = nRT$
$P _{He} = \dfrac{nRT}{V} = \dfrac{2\times 8.314\times 400}{8.21} =8atm$

Ammonium carbamate dissociates as ${ NH } _{ 2 }COON{ H } _{ 4\left( s \right)  }\leftrightharpoons 2N{ H } _{ 3\left( g \right)  }+{ CO } _{ 2\left( g \right)  }$. In a closed vessel containing ammonium carbamate in equilibrium, ammonia is added such that the partial pressure of ${ NH } _{ 3 }$ now equals to the original total pressure. The ratio of total pressure now to the original pressure is :

  1. $\frac { 27 }{ 31 } $

  2. $\frac { 31 }{ 27 } $

  3. $\frac { 4 }{ 9 } $

  4. $\frac { 5 }{ 9 } $

Show answer
Correct Option: B

If the density of a certain gas at $30^oC$ and $768 \ torr$ is $1.35 \ kg/{m}^{3}$, the density at STP would be:

chemistry chemical thermodynamics system and surroundings introduction to thermodynamics basics of thermodynamics

  1. $1.48 \ kg/{m}^{3}$

  2. $1.58 \ kg/{m}^{3}$

  3. $1.25 \ kg/{m}^{3}$

  4. $1.4 \ kg/{m}^{3}$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
From Ideal gas law,

$PM = dRT$

$P _1 = 768\ torr$
$T _1 = 30^0\ C = 303\ K$
$d _1 = 1.35 kg/ m^3$

At STP, 
$T _2 = 273\ K$
$P _2 = 760\ torr$

$\dfrac{P _1}{P _2} = \dfrac{d _1T _1}{d _2T _2}$

$\dfrac{768}{760} = \dfrac{1.35\times 303}{d _2\times 273}$

$d _2 = 1.48 kg/m^3$

Hence, option A is correct.

Which of the following statement(s) is/are incorrect?

chemistry chemical thermodynamics system and surroundings introduction to thermodynamics basics of thermodynamics

  1. For a closed system at rest with no fields, the sum of $q+w$ has the same value for every process that goes from a given state 1 to a given state 2

  2. If a closed system at rest in the absence of external field undergoes an adiabatic process that has $w=0$, then the temperature of system must remain constant

  3. A change in state from state 1 to state 2 produces a greater increase in entropy of the sytem when carried out irreversible than when carried out reversibly

Show answer
Correct Option: B,C,D
