Thermodynamics and Chemical Kinetics Questions
-
Only a
-
Only a and b
-
Only b
-
Only b and c
-
Only c
A
Correct answer
Explanation
This is the correct option as this statement is false. Spontaneous combustion takes place at the room temperature.
-
inactivated
-
unaffected
-
slightly activated
-
denatured
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Enzymes are proteins with specific three-dimensional structures essential for their function. At high temperatures (usually above 40-45°C for human enzymes), the increased thermal energy disrupts the weak bonds (hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces) maintaining this structure, causing the enzyme to denature. Denaturation is irreversible - the enzyme loses its active site shape and can no longer catalyze reactions.
-
Latent heat of vaporisation
-
Specific heat
-
Viscosity
-
Specific vapor volume
-
Fluidity
C
Correct answer
Explanation
The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to gradual deformation by shear stress or tensile stress. For liquids, it corresponds to the informal notion of thickness.
-
adiabatic
-
isobaric
-
isochoric
-
isentropic
-
isothermal
E
Correct answer
Explanation
An isothermal process is a change of a system, in which the temperature remains constant: ΔT = 0. This typically occurs when a system is in contact with an outside thermal reservoir (heat bath), and the change occurs slowly enough to allow the system to continually adjust to the temperature of the reservoir through heat exchange.
-
Nernst heat theorem
-
Maxwell's relations
-
Third law of thermodynamics
-
Second law of thermodynamics
-
Clayperon-Claussius equation
C
Correct answer
Explanation
The third law of thermodynamics is sometimes stated as the entropy of a perfect crystal at absolute zero is exactly equal to zero.
-
Volume
-
Mass
-
Energy
-
Temperature
-
Entropy
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by some closed boundary, for example, the space that a substance (solid, liquid, gas, or plasma) or shape occupies or contains.
-
temperature
-
pressure
-
volume
-
energy
-
mass
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Energy is an indirectly observed quantity which comes in many forms, such as kinetic energy, potential energy, radiant energy and many others.
-
Volume
-
Mass
-
Energy
-
Temperature
-
Entropy
E
Correct answer
Explanation
Entropy is a measure of the number of specific ways in which a system may be arranged, often taken to be a measure of disorder.
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Hydrogen is a chemical element with chemical symbol H and atomic number 1. With an atomic weight of 1.00794 u , hydrogen is the lightest element and its monatomic form (H1) is the most abundant chemical substance, constituting roughly 75% baryonic mass of the universe .
-
Viscocity
-
Surface tension
-
Chemical potential
-
Heat capacity
-
Electrical resistivity
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Heat capacity or thermal capacity, is the measurable physical quantity that specifies the amount of heat required to change the temperature of an object or body by a given amount.
-
Ice at 0°C
-
A bank manager’s desk
-
A protein molecule in its native regular state
-
A diamond at 0oK
-
Water at 0°C
E
Correct answer
Explanation
Water at 0°C is an example of high entropy state.
-
Static
-
Dynamic
-
Sub-static
-
Neither in static nor in dynamic
A
Correct answer
Explanation
This option is correct because in static self assembly, the ordered state is formed as the system approaches equilibrium, reducing its free energy.
-
time needed for one kilogram of fuel to be burnt out completely
-
change in state of the fuel
-
time needed for half kilogram of fuel to be burnt out completely
-
amount of heat energy produced on complete combustion of one kilogram of fuel
-
heat energy needed to burn the fuel
D
Correct answer
Explanation
The amount of heat energy produced on complete combustion of one kilogram of fuel is called its calorific value.
-
ΔmixH = 0, ΔmixV = 0
-
ΔmixH > 0, ΔmixV = 0
-
ΔmixH < 0, ΔmixV = 0
-
ΔmixH = 0, ΔmixV < 0
-
ΔmixH = 0, ΔmixV > 0
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Correct option: Both enthalpy change and volume of mixing change should be zero for an ideal solution.
-
Thermometer
-
Temperature
-
Heat
-
Kinetic energy
B
Correct answer
Explanation
The degree of hotness of a body is known as its temperature.
