Identify the correct statement from the
following is a chemical reaction.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
The change in entropy along with suitable
change in enthalpy decides the rate of
reaction
The correct answer is B because the spontaneity and rate of a chemical reaction are determined by the Gibbs free energy change, which depends on both enthalpy and entropy changes.

In biological cells that have a plentiful supply of O2,\mathrm{O}_2, glucose is oxidized completely to CO2\mathrm{CO}_2 and H2O\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} by a process called aerobic oxidation. Muscle cells may be deprived of O2\mathrm{O}_2 during vigorous exercise and in that case, one molecule of glucose is converted to two molecules of lactic acid, CH3CH(OH)COOH,\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}(\mathrm{OH}) \mathrm{COOH}, by a process called anaerobic glycolysis.

Assertion : Born-Haber cycle is based on Hess's law.

Reason : Lattice enthalpy can be calculated by Born Haber cycle.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
Option B is correct because both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason doesn't directly explain why the Born-Haber cycle is based on Hess's law. Hess's law is about path independence, while Born-Haber cycle is a specific application to lattice enthalpy.

Assertion : The mass and volume of a substance are the extensive properties and are proportional to each other.

Reason : The ratio of mass of a sample to its volume is an intensive property.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Assertion is correct, reason is correct; reason is not a correct explanation for assertion
Option B is correct because both the assertion and reason are correct, but the reason is not a correct explanation for the assertion. Mass and volume are extensive properties, and their ratio (density) is an intensive property, but density doesn't *cause* mass and volume to be extensive.

Work done by a sample of an ideal gas in a process A{A} is double the work done in another process B.{B}. The temperature rises through the same amount in the two processes. If CAC_{{A}} and CBC_{{B}} are the molar heat capacities for the two processes, then
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
CA>CBC_{{A}}>C_{{B}}
The correct answer is B (CA>CBC_{{A}}>C_{{B}}) because since the work done in process A is greater than in process B, more heat is required for the same temperature rise, implying a larger heat capacity.

The standard state Gibbs free energies of formation of CC (graphite) and C (diamond) at T=298 KT=298 {~K} are

The standard state means that the pressure should be 1 bar, and substance should be pure at a given temperature. The conversion of graphite [C(graphite)] to diamond [C\left[C\right. (diamond)] reduces its volume by 2×10−6 m3 mol−12 \times 10^{-6} {~m}^3 {~mol}^{-1}.

Which selection correctly shows units for specific heat capacity?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
J/(g⋅∘C)J /\left(g \cdot^{\circ} C\right)
Option C (J/(g⋅∘C)J /\left(g \cdot^{\circ} C\right)) is correct because specific heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius, hence the units are Joules per gram per degree Celsius.

Reason (R): Neutralisation involves reaction between an acid and a base.
View answer and explanation
