For the process A(l) A(g), which direction is favored by changes in energy probability? Positional probability? Explain your answers. If you wanted to favor the process as written, would you raise or lower the temperature of the system? Explain.
A 220-ft3 sample of gas at standard temperature and pressure is compressed into a cylinder, where it exerts pressure of 2000 psi. Calculate the work (in J) performed when this gas expands isothermally against an opposing pressure of 1.0 atm. (The amount of work that can be done is equivalent to the destructive force of about 1/4 lb of dynamite, giving you an idea of how potentially destructive compressed gas cylinders can be if improperly handled!)

A student is asked to calculate the amount of heat involved in changing 10.0 g of liquid bromine at room temperature (22.5C) to vapor at 59.0C.To do this, one must use Tables 8.1 and 8.2 for information on the specific heat, boiling point, and heat of vaporization of bromine. In addition, the following step-wise process must be followed. (a) Calculate H for: Br2(l,22.5C)Br2(l,59.0C) (b) Calculate H for: Br2(l,59.0C)Br2(g,59.0C) (c) Using Hess's law, calculate H for: Br2(l,22.5C)Br2(g,59.0C)
