JEE Main2008ChemistryThermodynamics (C)Actual
Oxidising power of chlorine in aqueous solution can be determined by the parameters indicated below: 1 2 Cl ₂( ~g ) 1 2 _ ass H ^ Cl ( g ) _ eg H^ Cl ⁻( g ) _ m on ^ H^ ^ Cl ⁻( aq ) . The energy involved in the conversion of 1 2 Cl ₂( ~g ) to Cl ⁻( g ) (using the data, . _ diss H_ Cl ₂ ^ =240 kJmol ⁻¹, _ eg H_ cl ^ =-349 kJmol ⁻¹, _ hyd H _ Cl ^ =-381 kJmol ⁻¹ ) will be
Options
- A+152 kJmol ⁻¹
- B-610 kJmol ⁻¹
- C-850 kJmol ⁻¹
- D+120 kJmol ⁻¹
Correct answer
B. -610 kJmol ⁻¹
Step-by-step solution
aligned & For the process 1 2 Cl ₂( ~g ) Cl _ aq ⁻ & H = 1 2 H _ diss of Cl ₂+ _ eg Cl + _ hyd Cl ⁻ & =+ 240 2 -349-381 & =-610 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹ aligned
