KCET 2025 Chemistry Paper

The incorrect statements are (b), (d) and (e), so the correct choice is Option B.- (b) is false: $\Delta H$ for a phase change does depend on how strong the intermolecular forces are-you must supply enough energy to overcome them.- (d) is false: Enthalpy is a state function, so $\Delta H$ depends only on initial and final states, not on the path.- (e) is false: Many ionic salts dissolve endothermically ( $\Delta$ soll $^{\circ}>0$ ); only some give off heat on dissolving ( $\Delta_{\text{sol}\;H}^{\circ} < 0$ ).(a) and (c) are both true.
