Assume each reaction is carried out in an open container. For which reaction will $$\Delta $$H = $$\Delta $$E ?
A
2CO(g) + O2(g) $$ \to $$ 2CO2(g)
B
H2(g) + Br2(g) $$ \to $$ 2HBr(g)
C
C(s) + 2H2O(g) $$ \to $$ 2H2(g) + CO2(g)
D
PCl5(g) $$ \to $$ PCl3(g) + Cl2(g)
Explanation
We know that
$$\Delta $$H = $$\Delta $$E + $$\Delta $$ngRT
In the reaction, H2(g) + Br2(g) $$ \to $$ 2HBr(g)
$$\Delta $$ng = 2 - (1 + 1) = 0
So, $$\Delta $$H = $$\Delta $$E for this reaction.

The enthalpy of hydrogenation of cyclohexene is is $$-$$ 119.5 kJ mol$$-$$1. If resonance energy of benzene is $$-$$ 150.4 kJ mol$$-$$1, its enthalpy of hydrogenation would be
A
$$-$$ 358.5 kJ mol$$-$$1
B
$$-$$ 508.9 kJ mol$$-$$1
C
$$-$$ 208.1 kJ mol$$-$$1
D
$$-$$ 269.9 kJ mol$$-$$1
Explanation
The resonance energy provides extra stability to the benzene molecule so it has to over come
for hydrogenation to take place.
So $$\Delta $$H = – 358.5
– (–150.4) = –208.1 kJ

The enthalpy and entropy change for the reaction:
Br2(l) + Cl2(g) $$ \to $$ 2BrCl(g) are 30 kJ mol$$-$$1 and 105 J K$$-$$1 mol$$-$$1 respectively.
The temperature at which the reaction will be in equilibrium is
A
300 K
B
285.7 K
C
273 K
D
450 K
Explanation
$$\Delta $$G = $$\Delta $$H – T$$\Delta $$S
Now, at equilibrium $$\Delta $$G = 0
0 = $$\Delta $$H – T$$\Delta $$S
$$ \Rightarrow $$ 0 = 30000 –T (105)
$$ \Rightarrow $$ T = $${{30000} \over {105}}$$ = 285.7 K

Identify the correct statement for change of Gibb's energy for a system ($$\Delta $$Gsystem) at constant temperature and pressure.
A
If $$\Delta $$Gsystem < 0, the process is not spontaneous.
B
If $$\Delta $$Gsystem > 0, the process is spontaneous.
C
If $$\Delta $$Gsystem = 0, the system has attained equilibrium.
D
If $$\Delta $$Gsystem = 0, the system is till moving in a particular direction.
Explanation
$$\Delta $$Gsystem < 0, process is spontaneous.
$$\Delta $$Gsystem = 0, process is in equilibrium.
$$\Delta $$Gsystem > 0, process is not spontaneous.
