6. Maximum permissible temperature in a gas turbine is?
a) Fixed
b) Variable
c) Linearly increasing
d) Linearly decreasing
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Maximum permissible temperature in a gas turbine is Fixed from metallurgical considerations.

7. Dissociation is directly proportional to temperature.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Dissociation is directly proportional to temperature as when the temperature increases, the amount of dissociation also increases & vice-versa.

8. Spontaneity of a chemical reaction depends on?
a) Enthalpy of reaction
b) Energy of reaction
c) Gibbs Free Energy
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Gibbs free energy is the parameter which determines the spontaneity of the reaction after determining its randomness.

9. For exothermic reactions, free energy change is?
a) positive
b) negative
c) zero
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Gibbs free energy is the parameter which determines the spontaneity of the reaction after determining its randomness. For exothermic reactions, this energy difference has to be negative.
