Thermodynamics mainly deals with
In an exothermic reaction, heat is evolved, and system loses heat to the surrounding. For such system
The spontaneity means, having the potential to proceed without the assistance of external agency. The processes which occur spontaneously are
For an ideal gas, the work of reversible expansion under isothermal condition can be calculated by using the expression $W=-n R T \ln \frac{V_f}{V_i}$. A sample containing 1.0 mol of an ideal gas is expanded isothermally and reversible to ten times of its original volume, in two separate experiments. The expansion is carried out at 300 K and at 600 K respectively. Choose the correct option.
Consider the following reaction between zinc and oxygen and choose the correct options out of the options given below
$$2 \mathrm{Zn}(s)+\mathrm{O}_2(g) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{ZnO}(s) ; \Delta H=-693.8 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$$
