  • A. Surrounding from the environment
  • B. Reactants from contamination
  • C. System from surrounding
  • D. Products from the surrounding

Explanation: In thermodynamics, a boundary separates a system from its surroundings. A system is a collection of matter and energy that is under study.

Correct answer: System from surrounding
  • A. Surroundings
  • B. System
  • C. State of a system
  • D. All of these

Explanation: In thermodynamics, the state of a system is described by a set of properties that define its condition at a given point in time.

Correct answer: State of a system
  • A. Water
  • B. Water in cup
  • C. Whole table
  • D. All of these

Explanation: In thermodynamics, a state of matter that is confined by some walls in space and separated from surroundings by those walls is called a…

Correct answer: Water
  • A. AI2O3
  • B. B2O3
  • C. CO
  • D. All of these

Explanation: Standard enthalpies of formation (∆Hf) for certain compounds, such as Al2O3 (aluminum oxide), B2O3 (boron oxide), and CO (carbon…

Correct answer: All of these
  • A. Spontaneous reaction
  • B. Exothermic reaction
  • C. Endothermic reaction
  • D. Non-spontaneous reaction

Explanation: A reaction that does not occur in nature is often referred to as a "non-spontaneous" or "non-natural" reaction.

Correct answer: Non-spontaneous reaction
  • A. Route taken by reaction for completion
  • B. Temperature of reactants
  • C. Concentration of products
  • D. Concentration of reactants

Explanation: Hess's law states that the total enthalpy change of a reaction remains the same regardless of the route taken by the reaction for…

Correct answer: Route taken by reaction for completion
  • A. Same for all the routes of that reaction
  • B. Different for different routes of that reaction
  • C. Depends up on the reactants present in each route
  • D. None of these

Explanation: Option A is correct since it states the correct definition of Hess's law which is: If a chemical change takes place by several different…

Correct answer: Same for all the routes of that reaction
  • A. Boiling point
  • B. Chemical bonding
  • C. Quantum study
  • D. Physical properties

Explanation: Knowledge obtained through thermodynamics is used to explain: d) Physical properties Thermodynamics provides insights and explanations for…

Correct answer: Physical properties
  • A. Unity
  • B. Zero
  • C. Positive
  • D. Negative

Explanation: In a cyclic process the net change in internal energy is zero because the system returns to its initial state.

Correct answer: Zero
  • A. Exothermic reaction
  • B. Endothermic reaction
  • C. Spontaneous reaction
  • D. Non spontaneous reaction

Explanation: The term exothermic process describes a process or reaction that releases energy from the system to its surroundings, usually in the form…

Correct answer: Exothermic reaction
  • A. Done by temperature change
  • B. Pressure - Temperature Work
  • C. Pressure - Volume Work
  • D. None of these options is correct

Explanation: The work is pressure-volume work. Pressure-volume work is the work that is done by the compression or expansion of a fluid.

Correct answer: Pressure - Volume Work
  • A. Joule/mole
  • B. kJ/mole
  • C. kJ mol
  • D. All options are correct.

Explanation: Joule is defined as 1kgm2s-2. Joule is a small quantity of energy, hence chemists usually express it in kJ.

Correct answer: kJ/mole
  • A. Heat remains constant
  • B. Heat is lost
  • C. Heat is absorbed
  • D. No heat gain or lose takes place

Explanation: Option C is correct since, in an endothermic reaction, the products are higher in energy than the reactants.

Correct answer: Heat is absorbed
  • A. Enthalpy of Formation
  • B. Enthalpy of Neutralization
  • C. Enthalpy of Atomization
  • D. Enthalpy of Reaction

Explanation: The given reaction ½ H2 → H represents the dissociation of hydrogen molecule into hydrogen atoms, and the enthalpy change associated with…

Correct answer: Enthalpy of Atomization
  • A. Enthalpy
  • B. Internal energy
  • C. Thermal energy
  • D. Temperature

Explanation: Heat is not a thermodynamic property because heat is the energy that is transferred due to a temperature difference, which means that heat…

Correct answer: Thermal energy
  • A. Damages ... intolerable
  • B. Ambiguities ...superior
  • C. Shortcomings ...shoddy
  • D. Occurrences ...attractive

Explanation: The sentence can be completed with the following words:"Shortcomings" and "shoddy" So the completed sentence is:"The foreman's clemency…

Correct answer: Shortcomings ...shoddy
  • A. 2
  • B. -1
  • C. 5
  • D. 4

Explanation: The given sequence is: 2, -1, 2, -1, 2, ?. The pattern here is an alternating one: every second term is the same.

Correct answer: -1
  • A. P
  • B. V
  • C. q
  • D. H (enthalpy)

Explanation: A state function is a property of a system that depends only on the current state of the system, not on the path by which the system…

Correct answer: q
