MCQ
Which of the following is not a state function
  • A
    Internal energy
  • B
    Enthalpy
  • Work
  • D
    Entropy

Answer

Correct option: C.
Work
(c)Work is not a state function as during a process its value depends on the path followed. The value of enthalpy, internal energy and entropy depends on the state and not on the path followed to get that state, hence these are state functions.

Which one of the following statements is not true regarding diborane ?
The amount of energy required to break a bond is same as the amount of energy released when the same bond is formed. In gaseous state, the energy required for homolytic cleavage of a bond is called Bond Dissociation Energy ($BDE$) or Bond Strength. BDE is affected by s-character of the bond and the stability of the radicals formed. Shorter bonds are typically stronger bonds. BDEs for some bonds are given below :

$\begin{array}{l} Cl - Cl ( g ) \longrightarrow Cl ^*( g )+ Cl ^*( g ) \Delta H ^{\circ}=58 kcal mol ^{-1} \\ H _3 C - Cl ( g ) \longrightarrow H _3 C ^*( g )+ Cl ^{\circ}( g ) \Delta H ^{\circ}=85 kcal mol ^{-1} \\ H - Cl ( g ) \quad \longrightarrow H ^*( g ) \quad+ Cl ^*( g ) \Delta H ^{\circ}=103 kcal mol ^{-1} \\\end{array}$
