Answer:

The true statements are: I. The reaction is exothermic.

II. The enthalpy change would be different if gaseous water was produced.

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction: C₂H₅OH(l) + 3O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(l),  ΔH= -1.37×10³kJ

1. In an exothermic reaction, heat or energy is released from the system to the surrounding. Thus for an exothermic process the change in enthalpy is less than 0 or negative (ΔH < 0) .

Since the enthalpy change for a combustion reaction is negative. <u>Therefore, the given reaction is exothermic.</u>

2. The change in enthalpy (ΔH) of a reaction is equal to difference of the sum of standard enthalpy of formation (ΔHf°) of the products and the reactants.

ΔHr° = ∑ n.ΔHf°(products) − ∑ n.ΔHf°(reactants)

As the value of ΔHf° of water in gaseous state and liquid state is not the same.

<u>Therefore, the enthalpy change of the reaction will be different, if gaseous water was present instead of liquid water.</u>

3. An oxidation-reduction reaction or a redox reaction involves simultaneous reduction and oxidation processes.

The given chemical reaction, represents the combustion reaction of ethanol.

Since combustion reactions are redox reactions. <u>Therefore, the given combustion reaction is an oxidation-reduction reaction.</u>

4. According to the ideal gas equation: P.V =n.R.T

Volume (V) ∝ n (number of moles of gas)

Since the number of moles (n) of gaseous reactants is 3 and number of moles of gaseous (n) products is 2.

<u>Therefore, the volume occupied by 3 moles of the reactant gaseous molecules will be more than 2 moles product gaseous molecules.</u>

Which solution has the lowest freezing point?
Leokris [45]
<span>Correct Answer: Option 3 i.e. 30 g of KI dissolved in 100 g of water.

Reason:
Depression in freezing point is a colligative property and it is directly proportional to molality of solution.

Molality of solution is mathematically expressed as,
Molality = </span>\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Weight of solvent (Kg)}}<span>

In case of option 1 and 2, molality of solution is 0.602 m. For option 3, molality of solution is 1.807 m, while in case of option 4, molality of solution is 1.205 m.

<u><em>Thus, second solution (option 2) has highest concentration (in terms of molality). Hence, it will have lowest freezing point</em></u></span>
