The formation enthalpies, \( \Delta H_f^\circ \) for \( H_2 \) and \( O_2 \) are 220.0 and 250.0 kJ mol\(^{-1}\), respectively, at 298.15 K, and \( \Delta H_f^\circ \) for \( H_2O \) (g) is -242.0 kJ mol\(^{-1}\) at the same temperature. The average bond enthalpy of the O-H bond in water at 298.15 K is:
Show Hint
Solution and Explanation
\[ \Delta H_f^\circ(H_2O) = \text{Bond enthalpy of O-H} \times 2 - \left( \Delta H_f^\circ(H_2) + \Delta H_f^\circ(O_2) \right) \]
\[ -242 = 2 \times \text{Bond enthalpy of O-H} - (220 + 250) \]
\[ -242 = 2 \times \text{Bond enthalpy of O-H} - 470 \]
\[ 2 \times \text{Bond enthalpy of O-H} = 228 \]
\[ \text{Bond enthalpy of O-H} = 114 \, \text{kJ/mol} \]

- A gas is kept in a container having walls which are thermally non-conducting. Initially the gas has a volume of 800 $ cm^3 $ and temperature 27°C. The change in temperature when the gas is adiabatically compressed to 200 $ cm^3 $ is: (Take $ \gamma $ = 1.5 : $ \gamma $ is the ratio of specific heats at constant pressure and at constant volume)

A piston of mass M is hung from a massless spring whose restoring force law goes as F = -kx, where k is the spring constant of appropriate dimension. The piston separates the vertical chamber into two parts, where the bottom part is filled with 'n' moles of an ideal gas. An external work is done on the gas isothermally (at a constant temperature T) with the help of a heating filament (with negligible volume) mounted in lower part of the chamber, so that the piston goes up from a height $ L_0 $ to $ L_1 $, the total energy delivered by the filament is (Assume spring to be in its natural length before heating)
