31. Which of the following statement is true about chemisorption ?
(a) It is reversible in nature
(b) It usually occurs at low temperature
(c) It is highly specific
(d) It involves Vander Waals forces
Answer:
(c) It is highly specific
Explanation:
Chemisorption involves the formation of actual chemical bonds between the adsorbate and the adsorbent. Because chemical bond formation dictates strict requirements, it is highly specific.
32. Under normal conditions, which of the following halide do not show F-centres ?
(a) AgCl
(b) LiCl
(c) NaCl
(d) KCl
Answer:
(a) AgCl
Explanation:
F-centers are typically found in alkali metal halides (like LiCl, NaCl, KCl) when heated in an atmosphere of their metal vapor. AgCl characteristically forms Frenkel defects and does not easily show F-centers under normal conditions.
33. Joule-Thomson coefficient is defined as:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Answer:
(d)
Explanation:
The Joule-Thomson coefficient mathematically represents the rate of change of temperature with respect to pressure under constant enthalpy (isenthalpic) conditions.
34. One mole of NaCl(s) on melting absorbed 30.5 kJ of heat and its entropy is increased by . What is melting point of NaCl ?
(a) 840 K
(b) 105.9 K
(c) 1059 K
(d) 100 K
Answer:
(c) 1059 K
Explanation:
At the melting point, the system is in equilibrium, so , which means . Solving for temperature: .
35. For equilibrium in closed vessel , is found 6 times of . This is attained when T is: (given )
(a) 73.08 K
(b) 29.8 K
(c) 36.5 K
(d) 59.6 K
Answer:
(b) 29.8 K
Explanation:
The relation between equilibrium constants is . Here, . Given , we have . Solving for T gives .
