The standard enthalpies of formation of CO2(g), H2O(g) and CO(g) in kJ mol- are -394, -242 and -110 respectively. What is the standard enthalpy change for the reaction CO(g) + H2(g)O → CO2(g) + H2(g)?

A. -42 KJ mol-

B. +42 KJ mol-

C. -262 KJ mol-

D. +262 KJ mol-

Detailed Solution

Standard enthalpy change of a process = ∆H° process = ∆H° F reactant - DF° products

10g of a solid is in equilibrium with its own vapour.
When 1 g of a small amount of solid is added, the vapour pressure?

A. remains the same

B. drops

C. increases by 1%

D. increases by 99%

B

23.

NaCI(s) + H2SO4(I) → HCI(g) + NaHSO4(s).
In the reaction above, H2SO4 behaves as?

A. a strong acid

B. an oxidizing agent

C. a good solvent

D. a dehydrating agent

A

24.

Which of these gases can be dried with concentrated H2SO4?

A. HBr

B. H2S

C. NH3

D. SO2

Detailed Solution

In the preparation of \(SO_{2}\), we have the resultant reaction from heating the mixture of \(Na_{2}SO_{3}\) and \(HCl\) as:
\(Na_{2}SO_{{3}{(aq)}} + 2HCl_{(aq)} \to 2NaCl_{(aq)} + H_{2}O_{(l)} + SO_{{2}{(g)}}\)
Passing the gas evolved through conc. \(H_{2}SO_{4}\), we collect \(SO_{2}\) by DOWNWARD DELIVERY, leaving \(NaCl\) in the flask.
25.
