Q1. Answer all the questions. Each question carries 5 marks.

1. Define Hess's law. How is it useful in calculating the enthalpy change of a
reaction?
2. What is the significance of the equilibrium constant (Kc) in a chemical reaction?
How is it related to the extent of the reaction?
3. Explain the concept of Le Chatelier's principle with the help of an example.
4. Differentiate between exothermic and endothermic reactions. Provide
examples of each.
5. State and explain the first law of thermodynamics. How does it relate to the
principle of energy conservation?
Section – A
Q2. Answer any 5 questions, each carrying 15 marks.
1. Derive the expression for the Van't Hoff equation and explain its significance in
chemical thermodynamics.
2. The reaction A + 2B ⇌ C has an equilibrium constant Kc = 0.25 mol/L. Initially,
0.10 mol of A and 0.20 mol of B were taken in a 1L container. Determine the
equilibrium concentrations of all the species.
3. Discuss the various factors that affect the rate of chemical reactions and their
mechanisms.
4. Explain the concept of entropy and its relation to the spontaneity of a process.
5. Describe the principles and applications of calorimetry in measuring heat
changes during chemical reactions.
6. Write a detailed account of the functional group "alcohols." Include their
nomenclature, chemical properties, and uses.
7. Discuss the preparation, properties, and uses of aldehydes and ketones.
Provide suitable examples.
