Question:1

1) Thermodynamics is not concerned about.........
(i) energy changes involved in a chemical reaction.
(ii) the extent to which a chemical reaction proceeds.
(iii) the rate at which a reaction proceeds.
(iv) the feasibility of chemical reaction.
Answer:

The answer is option (iii) the rate at which a reaction proceeds.
Explanation: Thermodynamics is actually concerned with the initial and final states of a system and not with the rate at which the transformations take place. The laws can be applied to a system only when the system is in equilibrium.

Question:2

Which of the following statements is correct ?
(i) The presence of reacting species in a covered beaker is an example of open system.

Answer:

The answer is option (iii) the presence of reactants in a closed vessel made up of copper is an example of a closed system.
Explanation: When the reactants are in a closed vessel, the matter cannot be exchanged. However, the energy may exchange through walls. So the reactants in a copper or a steel vessel are an example of a closed system.

Now, the heat absorbed at constant volume is equal to change in the internal Energy.

qp is the heat absorbed.

the equation can be represented as
so, we get,

now we take into consideration, the enthalpy

Hence, we can rewrite the first equation as,

now, in case of the state functions.
H is a state function because it depends on U, p and V, all of which are state functions.
So, , as well as qp, is path independent.
We can rewrite equation 2 in case of finite changes as,

We measure changes in enthalpy, when heat is being absorbed at a constant pressure.
ΔV = 0, for constant volume. So, equation 3 becomes ΔH = ΔU = qv

Question:62

Graphically show the total work done in an expansion when the state of an ideal gas is changed reversibly and isothermally from to . With the help of a pV plot compare the work done in the above case with that carried out against a constant external pressure .
Answer:

Let us assume that a cylinder has 1-mole gas without any weight or friction having area of cross-section A. Hence, the total volume is depicted by V_i and the initial pressure is assumed to be p.
Let us assume that pext is the external pressure.
Now, if p_ext> p, the piston moves down until p_ext = p,
Hence, the final volume is V_f and the distance moved by piston be ?l
Thus, ?V = ?l × A (eq-1)
?V = V_f - Vi
We know that, force = pressure ×area
Therefore, F = p_ext× A (eq-2)
If w is work done on the system
W = force × displacement
= p_ext × A ×?l
From eq-1
W = p_ext×(-?V)
W = -p_ext?V
W = -p_ext( vf – vi)
If v_f> v_i work is done by the system and w is negative. If vf< v_i work is on the system and w is positive
