(Assume water vapour to behave like an ideal gas)

1. +37.56                   

2. -43.76

3. +43.76                   

4. +40.66


 Answer  

1

Correct option is
A

 KJ 

Solution:- (A) 
We know that for gaseous reactants and products , we have a relation between standard enthalpy of vapourization  and standard internal energy  as-
whereas,
, i.e., difference between no. of moles of reactant and product.
For vapourization of water,
Hence the value  for this process will be .

Question:   From NCERT NEET 2007   

Consider the following reactions :

(i) H+(aq) + OH-(aq) = H2O(l) H = -x1 kJ mol-1

(ii) H2(g) + 12O2(g) = H2O(l) H = -x2 kJ mol-1

(iii) CO2(g) + H2(g) = CO(g) + H2O(l) H = -x3 kJ mol-1

(iv) C2H5(g) + 52O2(g) = 2CO2(g) + H2O(l) H = -x4 kJ mol-1

Enthalpy of formation of H2O(l) is:

1. -x2 kJ mol-1 

2. +x3 kJ mol-1

3. -x4 kJ mol-1

4. -x1 kJ mol-1


 Answer  

2

The amount of heat evolved or absorbed during the formation of 1 mole of a compound from its constituent is known as heat of formation. So, the correct answer is
H2(g)+1/2O2(g)H2O(l),ΔH=-X2Kjmol-1
