Correct options are highlighted when revealed.

1.Which of the following statements is accurate?

The absolute standard entropy of elemental substances is zero, similar to internal energy and enthalpy.When ice melts, enthalpy rises while the disorder decreases.The internal energy of an ideal gas is solely a function of its pressure.The greatest amount of work is achieved during reversible processes.

2.Given that Gibbs free energy (G) is defined as G = H – TS and Helmholtz free energy (A) as A = E – TS, which of the following correctly represents the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation?

The partial derivative of (G/T) with respect to temperature equals –H divided by T squared, i.e., [∂(G/T)/∂T] = –H/T²At constant volume, the derivative of (A/T) with respect to temperature is –E over T squared, i.e., [∂(A/T)/∂T]_V = –E/T²Both the expressions in options A and B are correctNeither of the equations in options A or B is correctNone of the above
