Question 8. The reaction of cyanamide,NH2CN(s) with dioxygen was carried out in a bomb calorimeter and ∆U was found to be -742,7 KJ-1 mol-1 at 298 K. Calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction at 298 K.NH2CN (S) + 3/202(g) —–>N2(g) + CO2(g) + H20(Z)
Answer: ∆U = – 742.7 KJ-1 mol-1 ; ∆ng = 2 – 3/2 = + 1/2 mol.
R = 8.314 x 10-3KJ-1 mol-1 ; T = 298 K
According to the relation,∆H = ∆U+∆ngRT
∆H = (- 742.7 kj) + (1/2 mol) x (8.314 x10-3 KJ-1 mol-1 ) x (298 K)
= – 742.7 kj + 1.239 kj = – 741.5 kj.

Molar heat capacity (C) = 24 J mol-1 K-1.
Rise in temperature (∆T) = 55 – 35 = 20°C = 20 K
Heat evolved (q) = C x m x T = (24 J mol-1 K-1) x (2.22 mol) x (20 K)

Heat released in the formation of 44g of C02 = 393.5 kj
Heat released in the formation of 35.2 g of C02=(393.5 KJ) x (35.2g)/(44g) = 314.8 kj

∆H = – (393 + 522) = – 965 kj moH Subtract eqn. (iv) from eqn. (i)
CH3OH(Z) + 3/202(g) ————> C02(y) + 2H20(Z); ∆H = – 726 kj mol-1
Subtract: C(s) + 2H2(y) + l/202(g) ———-> CH3OH(Z); ∆fHe = – 239 kj mol-1
Question 15.
Answer:
Question 16. For an isolated system∆U = 0; what will be ∆S?
Answer: Change in internal energy (∆U) for an isolated system is zero for it does not exchange any energy with the surroundings. But entropy tends to increase in case of spontaneous reaction. Therefore, ∆S > 0 or positive.
Question 17. For a reaction at 298 K
2A + B————->C
∆H = 40Q kj mot1 and AS = 0.2 kj Kr-1 mol-1.
At what temperature will the reaction become spontaneous considering ∆H and ∆S to be constant over the temperature range?
Answer: As per the Gibbs Helmholtz equation:
ΔG = Δ H- TΔ S For ΔG=0 ; ΔH=TΔS or T=ΔH/ΔS
T = (400 KJ mol-1)/(0.2 KJ K-1 mol-1) = 2000 k
Thus, reaction will be in a state of equilibrium at 2000 K and will be spontaneous above this temperature.

Question 18. For the reaction; 2Cl(g) ———-> Cl2(g); what will be the signs of ∆H and ∆S?

Question 7.
Answer:
Question 8. 1 g of graphite is burnt in a bomb calorimeter in excess of oxygen at 298 K and 1 atmospheric pressure according to the equation C(graphite) + 02 (g) —> C02 (g) During the reaction, temperature rises from 298 K to 299 K. If the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter is 20.7 kJ/K, what is the enthalpy change for the above reaction at 298 K and 1 atm?
Answer: Suppose q is the quantity of heat from the reaction mixture and Cv is the heat capacity of the calorimeter, then the quantity of heat absorbed by the calorimeter.
q = Cv/∆T
Quantity of heat from the reaction will have the same magnitude but opposite sign because the heat lost by the system (reaction mixture) is equal to the heat gained by the calorimeter.
q = – Cv x ∆T= – 20.7 kJ/ K x (299 – 298) K . = – 20.7 kJ
(Here, negative sign indicates the exothermic nature of the reaction). Thus, AU for the combustion of the lg of graphite = – 20.7 kj K-1 For combustion of 1 mol of graphite,

NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Chemistry Chapter 6 Long Answer Type Questions
Question 1. (a)What is a spontaneous process? Mention the conditions for a reaction to be spontaneous at constant temperature and pressure.
(b) Discuss the effect of temperature on the spontaneity of an exothermic reaction.
Answer: (a) A process is said to be spontaneous if it takes place by itself by own or under some condition.
∆G gives a criteria for spontaneity at constant temperature and pressure.
(b) If the temperature is so high that T∆S > ∆H in magnitude, ∆G will be positive and the process will be non-spontaneous.
If the temperature is made low so that T∆S < ∆H in magnitude, ∆G will be negative and the process will be spontaneous.
Question 2. Predict in which of the following, entropy increases/decreases.
(i) A liquid crystallizes into a solid
(ii) Temperature of a crystallize solid is raised from OK to 115 K
(iii) 2NaHCO3 (s) ———-> Na2 C03 (s) + C02 (g) + H2O (g)
(iv) H2(g)——>2H(g)
Answer: (i) After freezing, the molecules attain an ordered state and therefore, entropy decreases.
(ii) At 0 K the constituent particles are in static form therefore, entropy is minimum. If the temperature is raised to 115 K particles begin to move and entropy increases.
(iii) Reactant, NaHCO3 is solid. Thus, its entropy is less in comparison to product which has high entropy.
(iv) Here, one molecule gives two atoms. Thus, number of particles increases and this leads to more disordered form.
Question 3. Why standard entropy of an elementary substance is not zero whereas standard enthalpy of formation is taken as zero?
Under what conditions will the reaction occur, if
(i) both ∆H and ∆S are positive
(ii) both ∆H and ∆S are negative
Answer: (a) A substance has perfectly ordered arrangement of its constituent particles only at absolute zero. When the element formed from itself, this means no heat change.
Thus,∆f H = 0
(i) If both AH and AS are positive ∆G can be – ve only if T∆S > ∆H in magnitude. Thus, the temperature should be high.
(ii) If both AH and AS are negative ∆G can be negative only if T∆S < ∆H in magnitude. Thus, the value of T should be low.
Question 4. (a) What is bond energy? Why is it called enthalpy of atomisation?
(b) Calculate the bond energy of C-H bond, given that the heat of formation of CH4, heat of sublimation of carbon and heat of dissociation of H2 are – 74.8, + 719.6, 435.4 kj mol-1 respectively.
Answer: (a) Bond energy is the amount of energy required to dissociate one mole of bonds present between the atoms in the gaseous phase. As the molecules dissociate completely into atoms in the gaseous phase therefore bond energy of a diatomic molecule is called enthalpy of atomisatioij.

NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Chemistry Chapter 6 HOTS Questions
Question 1. Why standard entropy of an elementary substance is not zero whereas the standard enthalpy of formation is taken as zero?
Answer: A substance has a perfectly ordered arrangement only at absolute zero. Hence, entropy is zero only at absolute zero. Enthalpy of formation is the heat change involved in the formation of one mole of the substance from its elements. An element formed from its constituents means no heat change.
