Thermodynamics and Chemical Kinetics Questions

Multiple choice
  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option as this statement is false. Spontaneous combustion takes place at the room temperature.

Multiple choice
  1. inactivated

  2. unaffected

  3. slightly activated

  4. denatured

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
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.

Multiple choice
  1. adiabatic

  2. isobaric

  3. isochoric

  4. isentropic

  5. 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.

Multiple choice
  1. CO2

  2. O2

  3. H2

  4. N2

  5. H2O

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
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 .

Multiple choice
  1. time needed for one kilogram of fuel to be burnt out completely

  2. change in state of the fuel

  3. time needed for half kilogram of fuel to be burnt out completely

  4. amount of heat energy produced on complete combustion of one kilogram of fuel

  5. heat energy needed to burn the fuel

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The amount of heat energy produced on complete combustion of one kilogram of fuel is called its calorific value.
