# Question Ans
21.

If an equilibrium reaction has ΔH > 0, the reaction will proceed favourably in the forward direction at

C. Low temperature

D. Minimum temperature

A

22.

The commonest feature of reactions at the anode is that

A. electrons are consumed

B. oxidation is involved

C. ions are reduced

D. electrode dissolves

B

23.

Which of the following will change when a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction?

A. The activation energy

B. The potential energy of the reactants

C. The heat of the reaction

D. the potential energy of the product

A

24.

If y is an oxidizing agent that reacts with a reducing agent, Z, which of the following is correct?

A. Y increases in oxidation number

B. Y becomes reduced

C. Z loses protons

D. Z gains protons

B

25.

When at equilibrium, which of the reactions below will shift to the right if the pressure is increased and the temperature is kept constant?

A. 2SO3(g) ↔ 2SO2(g) + O2(g)

B. 2CO2(g) ↔ 2CO(g) + O2(g)

C. 2H2(g) + O2(g) ↔ 2H2O(g)

D. 2NO(g) ↔ N2(g) + O2(g)

C

26.

In the electrolysis of a concentrated solution of sodium chloride using electrodes, which of the following ions are discharged at the cathode and anode respectively?

A. Na+ and Cl-

B. Na+ and OH-

C. H+ and OH-

D. H+ and Cl-

D

27.

CO(g) + H2O(g) → CO2(g) + H2(g)
From the reaction above, calculate the standard enthalpies of formation of CO2(g), H2O(g) and CO(g) in kJ mol-1 are -394, -242, and -110 respectively.

A. -262 kJ mol-1

B. -42 kJ mol-1

C. +42 kJ mol-1

D. +262 kJ mol-1

Detailed Solution

CO + H2O → CO2 + H2 DH = 394 kJ mol-1
-242 + 110 = -352 kJ mol-1
35 = -394 -(352)
= -394 + 352
= -42 kJ mol-1
28.
