Given that the enthalpy change for this reaction is -571.6 kJ/mol, calculate the enthalpy change for the formation of 1 mole of H2O(g) under standard conditions. Assume the enthalpy of vaporization of water is 44.0 kJ/mol.
Options:

- (B) -285.8 kJ/mol
- (C) -241.8 kJ/mol
- (D) -227.6 kJ/mol
View Answer
Answer Explanation:
The enthalpy change given (-571.6 kJ/mol) is for the formation of liquid water. To find the enthalpy change for the formation of gaseous water (H2O(g)), we need to add the enthalpy of vaporization:
\(-571.6 \text{ kJ/mol} + 2 \times 44.0 \text{ kJ/mol} = -483.6 \text{ kJ/mol}\).
For the formation of 1 mole of H2O(g), divide by 2: \(-483.6 \text{ kJ/mol} \div 2 = -241.8 \text{ kJ/mol}\).
Correct Answer: (C) -241.8 kJ/mol

If the bond dissociation energies are as follows: N≡N = 946 kJ/mol, H–H = 436 kJ/mol, and N–H = 391 kJ/mol, what is the enthalpy change (ΔH) for the formation of 1 mole of NH3?
Options:
- (A) -92 kJ/mol
- (B) -45 kJ/mol
- (C) -38 kJ/mol
- (D) -46 kJ/mol
View Answer

The enthalpy change is calculated using bond energies: breaking 1 N≡N bond and 3 H–H bonds, and forming 6 N–H bonds.
ΔH = [1(946) + 3(436)] - [6(391)] = (946 + 1308) - 2346 = 2254 - 2346 = -92 kJ/mol for 2 moles of NH3.

50.0 cm3 of 1.0 mol dm−3 H2SO4 is mixed with 50.0 cm3 of 1.0 mol dm−3 NaOH. The temperature of the solution increases by 5.5 °C. Assume the density of the solution is 1.00 g cm−3 and its specific heat capacity is 4.18 J g−1 K−1. Calculate the enthalpy change of neutralization in kJ mol−1.
Options:
- (A) -46.0 kJ mol−1
- (B) -27.5 kJ mol−1
- (C) -55.5 kJ mol−1
- (D) -110.0 kJ mol−1
View Answer
Answer Explanation:
Total mass = 100 g (50 cm3 + 50 cm3).
Heat released (q) = m × c × ΔT = 100 g × 4.18 J/g·K × 5.5 K = 2299 J = 2.299 kJ.
Moles of NaOH = (1.0 mol/dm3 × 50 cm3) / 1000 = 0.050 mol (limiting reactant).
Enthalpy change per mole = -2.299 kJ / 0.050 mol = -46.0 kJ/mol.
Correct Answer: (A) -46.0 kJ mol−1

- (A) -14.6 kJ mol−1
- (B) -58.5 kJ mol−1
- (C) -7.3 kJ mol−1
- (D) -35.5 kJ mol−1
View Answer
Answer Explanation:
Total mass = 200 g.
Heat released (q) = m × c × ΔT = 200 g × 4.18 J/g·K × 3.5 K = 2926 J = 2.926 kJ.
Moles of NaOH = (0.5 mol/dm3 × 100 cm3) / 1000 = 0.050 mol.
Enthalpy change per mole = -2.926 kJ / 0.050 mol = -58.5 kJ/mol.

Problem 31:
For a certain chemical reaction, the enthalpy change (ΔH) is -120 kJ/mol, and the entropy change (ΔS) is -50 J/mol·K. Calculate the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) at 298 K.
Options:
- (A) -105 kJ/mol
- (B) -135 kJ/mol
- (C) +105 kJ/mol
- (D) +135 kJ/mol
View Answer
Answer Explanation:
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS.
Convert ΔS to kJ: -50 J/mol·K = -0.050 kJ/mol·K.
ΔG = -120 kJ/mol - (298 K × -0.050 kJ/mol·K) = -120 kJ/mol + 14.9 kJ/mol = -105.1 kJ/mol.
Correct Answer: (A) -105 kJ/mol
Problem 32:
A reaction has an enthalpy change (ΔH) of +80 kJ/mol and an entropy change (ΔS) of +200 J/mol·K. At what temperature (in K) will the reaction become spontaneous?
Options:
- (A) 200 K
- (B) 400 K
- (C) 600 K
- (D) 800 K
View Answer
Answer Explanation:
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS; reaction becomes spontaneous when ΔG = 0.
T = ΔH / ΔS.
Convert ΔS to kJ: +200 J/mol·K = +0.200 kJ/mol·K.
T = 80 kJ/mol / 0.200 kJ/mol·K = 400 K.
Correct Answer: (B) 400 K
Problem 33:
The reaction below has an enthalpy change (ΔH) of -40 kJ/mol and an entropy change (ΔS) of -100 J/mol·K. Determine if this reaction is spontaneous at 350 K.
Options:
- (A) Yes, because ΔG is negative.
- (B) No, because ΔG is positive.
- (C) It is spontaneous only at lower temperatures.
- (D) It is spontaneous only at higher temperatures.
View Answer
Answer Explanation:
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS.
Convert ΔS to kJ: -100 J/mol·K = -0.100 kJ/mol·K.
ΔG = -40 kJ/mol - (350 K × -0.100 kJ/mol·K) = -40 kJ/mol + 35 kJ/mol = -5 kJ/mol.
ΔG is negative; the reaction is spontaneous at 350 K.
Correct Answer: (A) Yes, because ΔG is negative.
Problem 34:
A reaction has an enthalpy change (ΔH) of -85 kJ/mol and an entropy change (ΔS) of -200 J/mol·K. At what temperature (in K) does this reaction become non-spontaneous?

- (B) 425 K
- (C) 575 K
- (D) 850 K
View Answer
Answer Explanation:
Set ΔG = 0: 0 = ΔH - TΔS.
T = ΔH / ΔS.
Convert ΔS to kJ: -200 J/mol·K = -0.200 kJ/mol·K.
T = 85 kJ/mol / 0.200 kJ/mol·K = 425 K.
Correct Answer: (B) 425 K
Problem 35:
The decomposition of a compound has an enthalpy change (ΔH) of +150 kJ/mol and an entropy change (ΔS) of +300 J/mol·K. Calculate the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) at 350 K. Will the reaction be spontaneous?
Options:
- (A) ΔG = +45 kJ/mol, Non-spontaneous
- (B) ΔG = -45 kJ/mol, Spontaneous
- (C) ΔG = +45 kJ/mol, Spontaneous
- (D) ΔG = -45 kJ/mol, Non-spontaneous
View Answer
Answer Explanation:
Convert ΔS to kJ: +300 J/mol·K = +0.300 kJ/mol·K.
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS = +150 kJ/mol - (350 K × 0.300 kJ/mol·K) = +150 kJ/mol - 105 kJ/mol = +45 kJ/mol.
ΔG is positive; reaction is non-spontaneous.
Correct Answer: (A) ΔG = +45 kJ/mol, Non-spontaneous
Problem 36:
For the reaction: N2(g) + 3 H2(g) → 2 NH3(g), the enthalpy change (ΔH) is -92 kJ/mol and the entropy change (ΔS) is -198 J/mol·K. Determine the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) at 500 K.
Options:
- (A) -188 kJ/mol
- (B) -2 kJ/mol
- (C) -178 kJ/mol
- (D) +7 kJ/mol
View Answer
Answer Explanation:
Convert ΔS to kJ: -198 J/mol·K = -0.198 kJ/mol·K.
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS = -92 kJ/mol - (500 K × -0.198 kJ/mol·K) = -92 kJ/mol + 99 kJ/mol = +7 kJ/mol.
ΔG is positive; reaction is non-spontaneous at 500 K.
