For the electrochemical cell Ag|AgNO₃||CuSO₄|Cu with E°(Ag⁺/Ag) = 0.80 V and E°(Cu²⁺/Cu) = 0.34 V, the ΔG° at 25°C is: (F = 96500 C/mol, R = 8.314 J/mol·K)

The correct answer is A: -89.3 kJ. E°cell = 0.80 - 0.34 = 0.46 V. For Ag⁺ + e⁻ → Ag, n = 1. ΔG° = -nFE° = -1 × 96500 × 0.46 = -44400 J... (recalculating shows closer to -89.3 kJ for 2-electron transfer considering the actual cell reaction)

The decomposition of H₂O₂ follows first-order kinetics with k = 0.01 s⁻¹. If initial concentration is 0.1 M, what will be the concentration after 100 seconds?

The correct answer is A: 0.0368 M. For first-order: [A] = [A₀]e^(-kt) = 0.1 × e^(-0.01×100) = 0.1 × e^(-1) = 0.1 × 0.368 = 0.0368 M

At 25°C, for the reaction: Cu²⁺(aq) + Zn(s) → Cu(s) + Zn²⁺(aq), E° = 1.1 V. What is ΔG°? (F = 96500 C/mol)

The correct answer is A: -212.3 kJ/mol. ΔG° = -nFE° = -2 × 96500 × 1.1 = -212300 J/mol = -212.3 kJ/mol

The osmotic pressure of a solution is given by π = iMRT. If 0.1 M glucose solution has osmotic pressure 2.46 atm at 273 K, what is the van't Hoff factor?

The correct answer is B: 1. i = π/(MRT) = 2.46/(0.1 × 0.0821 × 273) ≈ 1. Glucose is non-electrolyte with i = 1

For a weak acid HA with Ka = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵, if 0.1 M solution is prepared, what percentage ionization occurs?

The correct answer is B: 4.24%. α = √(Ka/C) = √(1.8 × 10⁻⁵/0.1) = √(1.8 × 10⁻⁴) = 0.0424 = 4.24%

Q.21 Easy Physical Chemistry

In electrochemistry, the reduction potential of Cu²⁺/Cu is +0.34 V and Zn²⁺/Zn is -0.76 V at 25°C. What is E°cell for Zn-Cu cell?

A 0.42 V

B 1.10 V

C 0.58 V

D -0.42 V

Correct Answer: B. 1.10 V

EXPLANATION

E°cell = E°cathode - E°anode = 0.34 - (-0.76) = 1.10 V

Q.22 Easy Physical Chemistry

For a first-order reaction with half-life of 69.3 minutes, the rate constant k is:

A 1.0 × 10⁻³ min⁻¹

B 0.693 min⁻¹

C 0.1 min⁻¹

D 10 min⁻¹

Correct Answer: A. 1.0 × 10⁻³ min⁻¹

EXPLANATION

For first-order reaction: t₁/₂ = 0.693/k, so k = 0.693/69.3 = 1.0 × 10⁻³ min⁻¹

Test

Q.23 Easy Physical Chemistry

The osmotic pressure of a solution at 27°C containing 0.1 mol of solute in 1 L is approximately:

A 2.46 atm

B 3.69 atm

C 1.84 atm

D 4.92 atm

Correct Answer: A. 2.46 atm

EXPLANATION

π = nRT/V = (0.1 × 0.0821 × 300)/1 = 2.463 atm

Test

Q.24 Easy Physical Chemistry

For the reaction 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O, ΔH = -572 kJ/mol. How much heat is released when 4 moles of H₂ react?

A 286 kJ

B 572 kJ

C 1144 kJ

D 2288 kJ

Correct Answer: C. 1144 kJ

EXPLANATION

Given reaction releases 572 kJ for 2 moles of H₂. For 4 moles of H₂, heat released = (572/2) × 4 = 1144 kJ

Q.26 Easy Physical Chemistry

At 298 K, the solubility product of AgCl is 1.8 × 10⁻¹⁰. What is the solubility of AgCl in mol/L?

A 1.34 × 10⁻⁵

B 4.24 × 10⁻⁵

C 1.8 × 10⁻¹⁰

D 3.6 × 10⁻¹⁰

Correct Answer: A. 1.34 × 10⁻⁵

EXPLANATION

For AgCl, Ksp = [Ag⁺][Cl⁻] = s². So s = √(1.8 × 10⁻¹⁰) = 1.34 × 10⁻⁵ mol/L

Test

Q.27 Easy Physical Chemistry

What is the relationship between ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS?

A ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

B ΔG = ΔH + TΔS

C ΔG = TΔS - ΔH

D ΔG = ΔH × TΔS

Correct Answer: A. ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

EXPLANATION

The Gibbs free energy equation is ΔG = ΔH - TΔS, where T is temperature in Kelvin. This is fundamental to predicting spontaneity.

Q.28 Easy Physical Chemistry

For the reaction: 2A + B → C, if the rate law is Rate = k[A]²[B], what is the overall order of the reaction?

A 1

B 2

C 3

D 4

Correct Answer: C. 3

EXPLANATION

The overall order of a reaction is the sum of all exponents in the rate law. Here, order = 2 + 1 = 3.

Q.29 Easy Physical Chemistry

The rate constant of a first-order reaction is 0.693 s⁻¹. What is the half-life of this reaction?

A 0.5 s

B 1 s

C 2 s

D 4 s

Correct Answer: B. 1 s

EXPLANATION

For a first-order reaction, t₁/₂ = 0.693/k = 0.693/0.693 = 1 s. This uses the relationship ln(2) ≈ 0.693.

Q.30 Easy Physical Chemistry

What is the pH of a 0.01 M HCl solution?

A 1

B 2

C 3

D 4

Correct Answer: B. 2

EXPLANATION

HCl is a strong acid and completely dissociates. [H⁺] = 0.01 M = 10⁻² M. Therefore, pH = -log[H⁺] = -log(10⁻²) = 2.
