Explanation: The energy possessed by water in a dam is potential energy.Potential energy is the energy that an object has due to its position or state.

Correct answer: Potential energy
  • A. Reversible
  • B. Mechanical
  • C. Exothermic
  • D. Endothermic

Explanation: The process is endothermic.Endothermic processes are those in which heat is absorbed from the surrounding.

Correct answer: Endothermic
  • A. It is an exothermic process
  • B. Formation of water is a spontaneous process
  • C. It is the heat evolved for complete reaction of 2 moles of oxygen with excess of hydrogen
  • D. Water is at lower energy than its reactants

Explanation: The enthalpy change (∆H) is negative, which means that heat is absorbed from the surroundings during the formation of water.

Correct answer: It is an exothermic process
  • A. For liquids
  • B. for solids
  • C. for Any in gas phase rex
  • D. For gas phase rex. having greater no. of moles of product.

Explanation: The answer is for gas phase reactions having greater number of moles of products.The enthalpy change (∆H) and the internal energy change…

Correct answer: For gas phase rex. having greater no. of moles of product.
  • A. q1 + q2
  • B. q1 - q2
  • C. q2 - q1
  • D. -q1 - q2

Explanation: The enthalpy change for the reaction CH3COOH → CH3COO- + H is the difference between the enthalpy change for the first reaction and the…

Correct answer: q1 - q2
  • A. lonization energy
  • B. Electron affinity
  • C. Combustion
  • D. Exothermic reaction

Explanation: The answer is ionization energy.Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom or molecule in the gaseous…

Correct answer: lonization energy
  • A. H2 + l2 ➞ 2HI
  • B. 2H2O2➞2H2O+O2
  • C. PCI5 ➞ PCI3+Cl2
  • D. C+O2 ➞ CO2

Explanation: The change in enthalpy is equal to the change in internal energy for reaction 1, H2 + I2 ➞ 2HI as ∆ n = 0

Correct answer: H2 + l2 ➞ 2HI
  • A. The change in heat content
  • B. The total energy change at constant pressure and temperature
  • C. The heat change at constant volume if ∆n=0
  • D. Work done at constant pressure

Explanation: The change in enthalpy is defined as the total energy change at constant pressure and temperature.

Correct answer: The total energy change at constant pressure and temperature
  • A. Thermochemistry
  • B. Electrochemistry
  • C. Nuclear chemistry
  • D. Chemical kinetics

Explanation: The study of heat changes that accompany a chemical reaction is called "Thermochemistry", therefore option A is the correct answer.

Correct answer: Thermochemistry
  • A. It indicates physical state of reactants and products
  • B. It indicates whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic
  • C. It indicates allotropes of the reactants if present
  • D. It indicates whether a reaction would occur or not

Explanation: The indication of whether a reaction would occur or not is not a characteristic of a thermochemical equation.Thermochemical equations only…

Correct answer: It indicates whether a reaction would occur or not
  • A. The heat liberated during the neutralization of a strong acid and a strong base in aqueous solution is constant
  • B. The heat of combustion is always an exothermic change
  • C. The enthalpies of the formation of carbon dioxide can be conveniently determined if the heat of combustion data of carbon is given
  • D. The heat of formation of a compound is equal in magnitude to the heat of combustion

Explanation: The statement is not true. The heat of formation and the heat of combustion are two different thermodynamicquantities related to chemical…

Correct answer: The heat of formation of a compound is equal in magnitude to the heat of combustion
  • A. Graphite is chemically different from diamond
  • B. Graphite is as stable as diamond
  • C. Graphite is more stable than diamond
  • D. Diamond is more stable than graphite

Explanation: The negative value of ∆H (-1.9 kJ) for the transition of carbon from diamond to graphite indicates that the process is exothermic and that…

Correct answer: Graphite is more stable than diamond
  • A. decreases
  • B. remains constant
  • C. increases
