NEET Chemistry Enthalpy MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Which of the following statements about enthalpy is correct?

A

The standard enthalpy of vaporization is positive, indicating heat is absorbed during the phase change.

B

Lattice enthalpy can be directly measured using experimental methods.

C

Bond enthalpy is defined as the energy released when a bond is broken.

D

The enthalpy of sublimation is always less than the enthalpy of vaporization for a given substance.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The standard enthalpy of vaporization, ∆ vap H , is defined as the heat required to vaporize one mole of a liquid at its boiling point, and it is indeed a positive value, reflecting the absorption of heat. Other statements contain inaccuracies regarding enthalpy definitions.
