(1 /(2) N2(g) + (1) / (2)O2(g) → NO(g) ∆H° 89 KJ mol-. If the entropy change for the reaction above at 25°C is 11.8 J mol-, calculate the change in free energy. ∆G°, for the reaction at 25°C?

A.

88.71 KJ

B.

85.48 KJ

C.

-204.00 KJ

D.

-3427.40 KJ

Correct answer is D

∆G = ∆H - T∆S; T = 2s° + 273 = 298 k
∆G = 89 - 298 x 11.8 = -3427.4

25 cm3 of 0.02 M KOH neutralized 0.03 g of a monobasic organic acid having the general formula CnH2n + 1 COOH. The molecular formula of the acid is?

(C = 12, H = 1, O = 16)

A.

HCOOH

B.

C2H5COOH

C.

CH3COOH

D.

C3H7COOH

Correct answer is C

Conc. of KOH = 39 x 0.02 = 0.78 g/dm3
25cm3 require 0.03 g of CnH2n + 1 COOH 1000CM3 → x x = (1000) / (25) x 0.03 = 1.2g
CnH2n + 1COOH + KOH → CnH2n + 1 COOK + H2O
from (MAVA) / (MB x VB) = (1) / (1) (MA x 1.2) / (0.02 x 0.78) = (1) / (1)
MA = 0.013
Con. = Molarity x Molecular Mass
Molecular Mass = (0.78) / (0.013) x 60
CnH2n + 1 COOH = 60
12n + 1 (2n + 1) + 12 + 32 + 1 = 6
14n = 60 - 46; n = (14) / (14) = 1
∴ CH3COOH
