At 373 K, steam and water are in equilibrium and $\Delta H$ = 40.98 kJ $mol^{-1}$.What will be  $\Delta S$ fro conversion of water into steam?
$H _2O _{(l)} \rightarrow H _2O _{(g)}$

  1. 109.8 J $K^{-1}mol^{-1}$

  2. 31 J $K^{-1}mol^{-1}$

  3. 21.98 J $K^{-1}mol^{-1}$

  4. 326 J $K^{-1}mol^{-1}$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The given reaction is :-

${ H } _{ 2 }O\left( l \right) \longrightarrow { H } _{ 2 }O\left( g \right) $
So, we have
       $\triangle Svap=\dfrac { \triangle Hvap }{ Tb } $
                     $=\dfrac { 40.98\times 1000 }{ 373 } =109.8{ JK }^{ -1 }{ mol }^{ -1 }$

At what temperature liquid water will be in equilibrium with water vapour?
$\Delta H _{vap} = 40.73 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$, $\Delta S _{vap} = 0.109 \ kJ \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$, 

  1. 282.4 K

  2. 373.6 K

  3. 100 K

  4. 400 K


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The given reaction is :-

               ${ H } _{ 2 }O\left( l \right) \rightleftharpoons { H } _{ 2 }O\left( g \right) $
Now, at equilibrium, $\triangle G=0$
Now, from fibb's free energy change equation
         $\triangle G=\triangle H-T\triangle S$
$\Rightarrow \quad \triangle H=T\triangle S$
$\Rightarrow \quad T=\dfrac { \triangle H }{ \triangle S } =\dfrac { 40.73 }{ 0.1079 } =373.6K$
$\left( \because \triangle Hrap=40.73KJ/mol,\quad \triangle Srap=0.109KJ{ K }^{ -1 }{ mol }^{ -1 } \right) $

In physical equilibrium, forces responsible for equilibrium are _______ in  nature.

  1. physical

  2. chemical

  3. strong

  4. weak


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In physical equilibrium, forces responsible for equilibrium are physical in nature (factual).

Which of the following represent physical equlibrium?

  1. Dissolution of solid $KI$ in water

  2. Sublimation of $NH _4Cl$

  3. Evaporation of dry ice in a closed container

  4. Condesation of water vapours


Correct Option: A

A yellow precipitate obatined in II group of the equilibrium analysis was soluble in aq. $NaOH$ and insoluble in dil. $HNO _3$. This shows the presence of:

  1. $Tin$

  2. $Antimony$

  3. $Arsenic$

  4. $Cadmium$


Correct Option: A

Which of the following statements is incorrect ?

  1. In equilibrium mixture of ice water kept in perfectly insulated flask mass of ice and water does not change with time .

  2. The intensity of red colour increase when oxalic acid is added to a solution containing iron (III) nitrate and potassium thioyanate .

  3. On addition of catalyst equilibrium constant value is not affected .

  4. Equilibrium constant for a reaction with negative $\triangle H$ value decreases as the temperature increases .


Correct Option: A

Two flasks A and B of an equal volume containing 1 mole and 2 moles of O$ 3$ respectively are heated to the same temperature. When the reaction $2O _3 \rightleftharpoons 3O _2$ practically stops, then both the flasks shall have __________.

  1. the same ratio: $[O _2]/[O _3]$

  2. the same ratio: $[O _2]^{3/2}/[O _3]$

  3. only $O _2$

  4. the same time to reach equilibrium


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

For the given reaction,
$K _c = \displaystyle \frac{[O _2]^3}{[O _3]^2}= constant$     so  $\displaystyle \sqrt{K _c} = \frac{[O _2]^{3/2}}{[O _3]} = constant$
Same for both containers. Kc won't change as flasks are heated to same temperature. 

Which of the following is not a general characteristic of equilibrium involving physical processes ?

  1. equilibrium is possible only in a closed system at a given temperature .

  2. all measurable properties of the system remain constant .

  3. all the physical processes stop at equilibrium.

  4. the opposing processes occur at the same ratio and there is dynamic but stable condition .


Correct Option: C

Nitro benzene is used _________.

  1. as a solvent

  2. In the manufacture of aniline

  3. In cheap scent

  4. All these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

It is a solvent because it can dissolve a large number of polar substances (polar aprotic solvent)
It can be used to manufacture aniline because it can be reduced by stephen's reduction to anniline
It is also used as a scent because it has pleasant odour

Nitrobenzene is used as a/an ____________.

  1. reducing agent

  2. oxidizing agent

  3. nitrating agent

  4. neutralizing agent


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Nitrobenzene can itself be reduced to aniline, so it acts as an oxidising agent.
