MCQ
Which of the following processes takes place with decrease of entropy?
  • A
    Solid $\to $ gas
  • B
    sugar $+$ water $\to $ solution
  • $NH_{3(g)} + HCl_{(g)} \to NH_4Cl_{(s)}$
  • D
    $A_{(g)} + B_{(g)} \to $ mixture

Answer

Correct option: C.
$NH_{3(g)} + HCl_{(g)} \to NH_4Cl_{(s)}$
c
The structure of a solid is usually well ordered, the structure of a liquid is less ordered, and that of a gas is quite random. Entropy of mixing is higher than the individual separate reactants. In option $(C)$ two gases changing to the one solid product. The product side is more organised and thus has less entropy.

Given : $\Delta H _{ f }^{\ominus}\left( Al _2 O _3\right)=-1700\,kJ\,mol ^{-1}$

$\Delta H _{ f }^\theta\left( Fe _2 O _3\right)=-840\,kJ\,mol ^{-1}$

Molar mass of $Fe , Al$ and $O$ are $56,27$ and $16\,g\,mol ^{-1}$ respectively.

The formation of the oxide ion, O2- (g), from oxygen atom requires first an exothermic and then an endothermic step as shown below:
$\text{O(g)}+\text{e}^-\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\text{O}^-(\text{g}),\ \Delta\text{H}^\ominus=-141\text{kJ}\text{ mol}^{-1}$
$\text{O(g)}+\text{e}^-\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\text{O}^{-2}(\text{g}),\ \Delta\text{H}^\ominus=+780\text{kJ}\text{ mol}^{-1}$
Thus process of formation of O2- in gas phase is unfavourable even though O2- is isoelectronic with neon. It is due to the fact that:
In the isoelectronic species the ionic radii $\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,$ of ${N^{3 - }}$, ${O^{2 - }}$ and ${F^ - }$ are respectively given by
$H_2 + Cl_2 \longrightarrow 2HCl$ ; $\Delta H = -x\,kJ$
$NaCl + H_2SO_4 \longrightarrow NaHSO_4 + HCl$ ; $\Delta H = -y\,kJ$
$2H_2O + 2Cl_2  \longrightarrow 4HCl + Cl_2$     ;   $\Delta H = -z\,kJ$
From above equation the value of $\Delta H_f$ of $HCl$ is
