Thermodynamics: NEET questions with solutions
NEET tests the first law sign convention, ΔH–ΔU conversion, Hess's law and bond-enthalpy arithmetic, reversible work, and ΔG = ΔH − TΔS spontaneity logic. Most lost marks come from sign errors (work done by vs on the system), kJ–J mismatches, counting liquid water as gas in Δng, and forgetting stoichiometric coefficients in Hess's law.
