Heat has randomising influence on a system and temperature is the measure of average chaotic motion of particles in the system. Write the mathematical relation which relates these three parameters.

Explanation

Heat has randomising influence on a system and temperature is the measure of average chaotic motion of particles in the system. The mathematical relation which relates these three parameters is

$$\Delta S=\frac{q_{\mathrm{rev}}}{T}$$

Here, $\quad \Delta S=$ change in entropy

$$\begin{aligned} \mathrm{q}_{\mathrm{rev}} & =\text { heat of reversible reaction } \\ T & =\text { temperature } \end{aligned}$$

Increase in enthalpy of the surroundings is equal to decrease in enthalpy of the system. Will the temperature of system and surroundings be the same when they are in thermal equilibrium?

Explanation

Yes, the temperature of system and surroundings be the same when they are in thermal equilibrium.

At $298 \mathrm{~K}, K_p$ for reaction $\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_4(g) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{NO}_2(g)$ is 0.98 . Predict whether the reaction is spontaneous or not.

Explanation

For the reaction, $\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_4(g) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{NO}_2(g), K_p=0.98$

As we know that $\quad \Delta_r G^{\mathrm{s}}=-2.303 R \mathrm{log} K_p$

Here, $K_p=0.98$ i.e., $K_p<1$ therefore, $\Delta_r G^{\circ}$ is positive, hence the reaction is non-spontaneous.

A sample of 1.0 mol of a monoatomic ideal gas is taken through a cyclic process of expansion and compression as shown in figure. What will be the value of $\Delta H$ for the cycle as a whole?

Explanation

The net enthalpy change, $\Delta H$ for a cyclic process is zero as enthalpy change is a state function, i.e., $\Delta H$ (cycle) $=0$

The standard molar entropy of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(l)$ is $70 \mathrm{JK}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$. Will the standard molar entropy of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(s)$ be more, or less than $70 \mathrm{JK}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ ?

Explanation

The standard molar entropy of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(l)$ is $70 \mathrm{JK}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$. The solid form of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ is ice. In ice, molecules of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ are less random than in liquid water.

Thus, molar entropy of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{s})<$ molar entropy of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(l)$. The standard molar entropy of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{s})$ is less than $70 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~K}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$.
