The mode of expression in which the concentration remains independent of temperature is :

(A) Molarity
(B) Normality
(C) Formality
(D) Molality
(D)

Sol.

No. of moler of Solute

Molality = Mass of Solvent (in Kg)
Since no. of moles and mass both are independent of temperature, hence molality does not depend on
temperature.

The enthalpy changes for the following reactions are :

Cdiamond + O2(g) CO2(g)
H = 395.3 kJ mol1
Cgraphite + O2(g) CO2(g)
H = 393.4 kJ mol1
The enthalpy change for the transition
Cdiamond Cgraphite will be :
(A) 3.8 kJ mol1
(B) + 3.8 kJ mol1
(C) 1.9 kJ mol1
(C)
Cdiamond + O2(g) CO2(g) H = 395.3 KJ/mol.
Cgraphite + O2(g) CO2(g) H = 393.4 KJ/mol.
Substracting eq. (2) from eq. (1)
Cdiamond Cgraphite H = ?
H = 395.3 (393.4)
= 1.9 KJ/mole
