JEE Main2012ChemistryThermodynamics (C)Actual
The electron affinity of chlorine is 3.7 eV .1 gram of chlorine is completely converted to Cl ⁻ ion in a gaseous state. (1 eV =23.06 kcal mol ⁻¹ ) . Energy released in the process is
Options
- A4.8 kcal
- B7.2 kcal
- C8.2 kcal
- D2.4 kcal
Correct answer
D. 2.4 kcal
Step-by-step solution
Number of moles = 1 35.5 Given, 1 eV =23.06 kcal mol ⁻¹3.7 eV =3.7 23.06 kcal mol ⁻¹ i.e. 1 mole realease energy =3.7 23.06 kcal Energy released = 1 35.5 3.7 23.06 kcal =2.4 kcal
