  • A. Option A
  • B. Option B
  • C. Option C
  • D. Option D

Explanation: Enthalpy change of atomisation is when 1 mole of gaseous atom is formed from its element in their standard state under standard…

Correct answer: Option A
  • A. Endothermic
  • B. Exothermic
  • C. Reversible
  • D. Irreversible

Explanation: Irreversible reactions can proceed in one direction only. The products of the reaction cannot be converted back into the reactants without…

Correct answer: Irreversible
  • A. initial and final enthalpy change of reaction
  • B. state of reactants and products
  • C. diffrent intermediate reactions
  • D. nature of reactant and products

Explanation: Enthalpy change of a reaction is a state function. Its value is dependant on the initial and final values of the system.

Correct answer: Hess' law
  • A. product is more than that of reactants
  • B. reactant is more than that of products
  • C. reactants and products remains equal
  • D. All are correct

Explanation: In an exothermic recation, heat energy is released when products are formed. ΔH of an exothermic recation is always negative.

Correct answer: reactant is more than that of products
  • A. Only new bonds are being made
  • B. bonds being made are stronger than bonds broken
  • C. Only existing bonds are being broken
  • D. bonds being broken are stronger than bonds made

Explanation: An exothermic reaction gives out heat energy. In an exothermic reaction, the energy absorbed during bond-making is greater than the energy…
