  • A. It is an endothermic process
  • B. It can be represented as H3O+(aq)+ OH.(aq) → 2H2O(I)
  • C. The enthalpy change per mole of H2O formed is independent of the acid or alkali used as they are strong
  • D. Both B and C

Explanation: C is true. Standard enthalpy change of neutralization is approximately the same for every strong base and strong acid i.e. -57.4 kJmol-1

Correct answer: The enthalpy change per mole of H2O formed is independent of the acid or alkali used as they are strong
  • A. A
  • B. B
  • C. C
  • D. D

Explanation: B is correct. The energy of products should be greater than that of reactants in an endothermic reaction.

Correct answer: B
  • A. Structure
  • B. Heat of solution
  • C. Bonding
  • D. Dipole Moment

Explanation: Lattice energy can not explain the dipole moment of ionic compounds. Ionic compounds are held tight in a giant lattice, so the…

Correct answer: Dipole Moment
  • A. The study of heat changes accompanying a chemical reaction is known as thermochemistry
  • B. Thermodynamics is a branch of physics that deals with heat, work and temperature
  • C. Both A and B
  • D. Neither A nor B

Explanation: Option C is correct because both statements A and B are accurate descriptions of thermochemistry and thermodynamics.

Correct answer: Both A and B
  • A. CCI4
  • B. Al2O3
  • C. B2O3
  • D. MgO

Explanation: Option D, MgO (magnesium oxide), is correct because its standard enthalpy change (∆H∘) can be measured directly by a…

Correct answer: MgO
  • A. ∆Hv
  • B. ∆H°sol
  • C. ∆H°BDE
  • D. ∆Hi

Explanation: Option B, ∆H°sol, refers to the standard enthalpy change of solution, which is the enthalpy change when one mole of a substance dissolves…

Correct answer: ∆H°sol
  • A. ∆H°n
  • B. ∆H°at
  • C. ∆H°sol
  • D. ∆H°f

Explanation: Option A, "∆H°n," is correct because a glass calorimeter is typically used to measure the heat of a chemical reaction at constant…

Correct answer: ∆H°n
  • A. Remains constant
  • B. Decreases
  • C. Increases
  • D. Remains unchanged

Explanation: Option b is correct because in an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed from the surroundings, causing a decrease in temperature.

Correct answer: Decreases
  • A. A
  • B. B
  • C. C
  • D. D

Explanation: Option d is correct because it makes an inaccurate generalization about the relative magnitudes of qv and qp without specifying the…

Correct answer: D
  • A. A
  • B. B
  • C. C
  • D. D

Explanation: The term system is used for anything (materials) under test in the laboratory, or under consideration in the classroom for the purpose of…

Correct answer: B
  • A. Temperature
  • B. Physical state of reactants and products
  • C. Reaction conditions
  • D. All of these

Explanation: The temperature at which a reaction occurs significantly affects the heat of reaction.

Correct answer: All of these
  • A. Chemical nature of a substance
  • B. Temperature
  • C. Pressure and volume
  • D. Path

Explanation: In thermodynamics, the internal energy of a system is a state function, which means it depends only on the initial and final states of the…

Correct answer: Path
  • A. ∆H°f > ∆Hhyd
  • B. ∆Hhyd > ∆H°f
  • C. ∆Hhyd = ∆H°f
  • D. ∆Hhyd ≤ ∆H°f

Explanation: For an ionic solid to dissolve in water, it must overcome the energy barrier associated with breaking the ionic bonds in the solid and the…

Correct answer: ∆Hhyd > ∆H°f
  • A. To study processes at constant volume (∆V = 0) only
  • B. To study processes at constant pressure (∆P = 0) only
  • C. Both A and B
  • D. Neither A nor B

Explanation: To study processes at constant volume (∆V = 0): The first law of thermodynamics is applicable to processes that occur at constant volume.

Correct answer: Both A and B
  • A. Law of mass action
  • B. Hess's Law
  • C. Joule's Law
  • D. First law of thermodynamics

Explanation: This statement is related to Hess's law which states that: "If a chemical change takes place by several different routes, the overall…

Correct answer: Hess's Law
  • A. ∆Hlatt = ∆Hf - ∆Hx
  • B. ∆Hlatt = ∆Hx - ∆Hf
  • C. ∆Hlatt = ∆Hx + ∆Hf
  • D. ∆Hlatt = ∆Ha - ∆Hx

Explanation: The lattice energy, gives us some idea of the force of attraction between Na+ and Cl- ions in crystalline sodium chloride.
