Identify the correct statements from the following I. $\Delta_{\mathrm{r}} \mathrm{G}$ is zero for $\mathrm{A} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{B}$ reaction II. The entropy of pure crystalline solids approaches zero as the temperature approaches absolute zero III. $\Delta U$ of a reaction can be determined using bomb calorimeter
  1. I, II only
  2. I, III only
  3. II, III only
  4. I, II, III

Solution

(I) For equilibrium reaction Gibb's free energy i.e $\Delta \mathrm{G}_{\mathrm{r}}=0$ (II) According to third law of thermodynamics, the entropy of pure crystalline solid approaches zero as the temperature approaches absolute zero. This is because there is perfect order in a crystal at absolute zero. (III)For a chemical reactions, heat absorbed at constant volume i.e $\Delta U$ is measured in a bomb calorimeter.
