6. The ΔG at m.pt. of ice is zero.
7. At temperature T, the endothermic reaction A ——> B proceeds almost to completion. WhyΔS is + ve ?
8. Why standard heat of formation of diamond is not zero though it is an element?
9. Can the absolute value of internal energy be determined? Why or why not?
10. Same mass of diamond and graphite (both being carbon) are burnt in oxygen. Will the heat produced be same or different? Why?
11. Why in chemical reactions generally heat is either evolved or absorbed?
