A) First law of thermodynamics is not adequate in predicting the direction of the process.
B) In an exothermic reaction, the total enthalpy of the products is greater than that of reactants.
C) The standard enthalpy of diamond is zero at 298K and 1 atm pressure.
D) It is possible to calculate the value of \[\Delta H\] for the reaction \[{{H}_{2}}(g)+B{{r}_{2}}(\ell )\to 2HBr(g)\] from the bond enthalpy data.
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
[a] The statements given under [b], [c] are not correct because statement [b] refers to an endothermic reaction and the standard state for carbon is graphite under [c]. For the calculation of \[\Delta H\] of the reaction under [d], additional data in the heat of vaporization of \[B{{r}_{2}}\] (1) is necessary.
