221. If two pure liquid constituents are mixed in any proportion to give an ideal solution, there is no change in

  1. Volume
  2. Enthalpy
  3. Both (A) & (B)
  4. Neither (A) nor (B)

Correct answer: (C)
Both (A) & (B)

222. If we increase the pressure on a substance (which is at its triple point), then the triple point

  1. Increases
  2. Decreases
  3. Remains unchanged
  4. May increase or decrease; depends on the substance

Correct answer: (C)
Remains unchanged

223. In a homogeneous solution, the activity co-efficient of a component depends upon the

  1. Pressure
  2. Composition
  3. Temperature
  4. All (A), (B) and (C)

Correct answer: (D)
All (A), (B) and (C)

224. In a homogeneous solution, the fugacity of a component depends upon the

  1. Pressure
  2. Composition
  3. Temperature
  4. All (A), (B) and (C)

Correct answer: (D)

225. In a P-V diagram (for an ideal gas), an isothermal curve will coincide within adiabatic curve (through a point), when

  1. Cp < Cv
  2. Cp = Cv
  3. Cp > Cv
  4. C ≥ Cv

Correct answer: (B)
Cp = Cv

226. In a reversible chemical reaction (where, Δx = number of moles of products-number of moles of reactants)

  1. Addition of inert gas favours the forward reaction, when Δx is positive
  2. Pressure has no effect on equilibrium, when Δn = 0
  3. Addition of inert gas has no effect on the equilibrium constant at constant volume for any value of Δx (+ ve, - ve) or zero)
  4. All 'a', 'b' & 'c'

Correct answer: (D)
All 'a', 'b' & 'c'

227. In a reversible process
