$∆$H_fusion of a substance is 'x' and $∆$H_vap is 'y', then $∆$H_sublimation will be

• x + y

• x - y

• x/y

• y/x

$∆{\mathrm{S}}_{\mathrm{surr}}$ for an exothermic reaction is

• always positive

• always negative

• zero

• may be positive or negative

The vapour pressure of pure benzene at a certain temperature is 0.850 bar. A non-volatile, non-electrolyte solid weighing 0.5 g is added to 39.0 g of benzene (molar mass 78 g/mol). The vapour pressure of the solution then is 0.845 bar. What is the molecular mass of the solid substance?

• 58

• 180

• 170

• 145

Which statement is true for ferrocene?

• If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

• If assertion is true but reason is false

• If both assertion and reason are false.

Assertion : F is more electronegative than Cl.

Reason : F has high electron affinity than Cl.
