 12. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow

          Thermodynamics deals with energy changes in chemical or physical processes an enables to study these changes quantitatively to make useful predictions. The energy stored within a substance is called the internal energy of the system. The change in internal energy (∆U) of a system is the sum of all the energy inputs and outputs to and from the system. Work (W) and heat (Q) are the two modes of internal energyof the system. According to first law of thermodynamics the energy of isolated system is constant and mathematically it is expressed as ∆U = Q + W. Heat exchange at constant pressure for any process gives the measure of enthalpy change (∆H) of the system. Every chemical reaction is associated with change of material as well as energy. The enthalpy change associated with a chemical reaction at 1 bar pressure and 298.15 K is called standard reaction enthalpy (∆rHo). According to Hess’s law, for any chemical reaction the net heat exchange will be same whether the process occurs in one stage or in many stages. According to second law of thermodynamics, in a spontaneous chemical reaction the net entropy of both the system as well as surrounding will increase, i.e., ∆ Stotal> 0. Gibbs free energy is another thermodynamic quantity that helps in predicting the direction of spontaneity of a process. Gibbse free energy is defined as G = H – TS where H = U+PV.  For any chemical process at constant pressure and temperature Gibbs free energy of the system decreases, i.e, ∆G < 0. U, H, S and G all are state function and extensive property where as q and w are path function.

(a) Consider the following sublimation process: I2 (solid) à I2 (vapour)  

At which condition of temperature the above reaction will be spontaneous?

(b) Although work done by the system is a path function, but when work is carried out Under specific process then it is independent of the path. What is the process when work behaves as a state function?

(c) State the relation between ∆U and ∆H for the given reaction at constant temperature and pressure

(d) 8 gram of oxygen is compressed isothermally and reversibly at a temperature of 27oC from 10L to 5L. Calculate q and w for the process. Oxygen gas is behaving like an ideal gas. Given log 2=0.3, R =2 cal K-1mole-1

OR

Calculate the standard enthalpy of formation of CH3OH(l) from the following data: 

                CH3OH (l) + 3 /2 O2 (g) → CO2 (g) + 2H2O(l);              ΔrH 0 = –726 kJ mol–1

                C (graphite) + O2 (g) → CO2 (g);                                   ΔcH 0 = –393 kJ mol–1

  H2 (g) + 1/ 2 O2 (g) → H2O(l);                                        Δf H 0 = –286 kJ mol–1
