Q14. Enthalpy of sublimation of a substance is equal to,

  1. Enthalpy of fusion + enthalpy of vapourisatio.
  2. Enthalpy of fusion.
  3. Enthalpy of vapourisatio.
  4. Twice the enthalpy of vapourisation.
Click To View The Answer

Ans: 1. Enthalpy of fusion + enthalpy of vapourisation.
Explanation:
Enthalpy of sublimation of a substance is equal to enthalpy of fusion + enthalpy of vapourisation.
Sublimation is direct conversion of solid to vapour, i.e., solid → vapour.
Writing in two steps, we have solid → liquid → vapour.
Solid → liquid requires enthalpy of fusion.
Liquid → vapour requires enthalpy of vapourisation.

Q15. Hess’s law is based on:

  1. Law of conservation of mass.
  2. Law of conservation of energy.
  3. Law of active mass.
  4. Both (a) and (b).
Click To View The Answer

Ans: 2. Law of conservation of energy.
Explanation:
Hess’s law is based on law of conservation of energy

Q16. The volume of gas is reduced to half from its original volume. The specific heat will be __.

  1. Reduce to half.
  2. Be doubled.
  3. Remain constant.
  4. Increase four times.
Click To View The Answer

Ans: 3. Remain constant.


Explanation:
The specific heat of a substance is the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by one degree (1K or 1°C). It is
an intensive property and is independent of the volume of the substance.

Q21. Which of the following statements is correct?

  1. The presence of reacting species in a covered beaker is an example of open system.
  2. There is an exchange of energy as well as matter between the system and the surroundings in a closed
    system.
  3. The presence of reactants in a closed vessel made up of copper is an example of a closed system.
  4. The presence of reactants in a thermos flask or any other closed insulated vessel is an example of a closed
    system.
Click To View The Answer

Ans: 3. The presence of reactants in a closed vessel made up of copper is an example of a closed system.
Explanation:
If a closed reaction vessel is made of copper, it will work as closed system because in such system heat will be exchanged with the
surroundings but no matter will exchange.
