Question

3.73. The frying of a hen's egg is a spontaneous reaction
and has a negative Gibbs energy change. The process can
apparently be reversed by feeding the fried egg to a hen and
waiting for it to lay another egg. Does this constitute a
violation of the second law? Discuss.

10In answering this question, a student commented that a hen would
never eat a fried egg. We suspect she would if she were hungry and
had no alternative. In any case, let us postulate a hen sufficiently
eccentric to eat a fried egg.

Classify each of the statements as true or false. False Truc An exothermic reaction is always spontaneous. The entropy ofa substance increases when a solid melts into a liquid at any temperature. Product formation is never favored in a reaction with a negative AH and a positive AS. For an endothermic reaction, a decrease in temperature results in a decrease in the equilibrium constant. A reaction will have an equilibrium constant that is less than one if AG" for the reaction is positive. Entropy increases as the temperature decreases. Answer Bank 2°C Mostly cloudy A a ENG 01/0
An endothermic reaction that has a negative entropy change would be described as what? Spontaneous Nonspontaneous at equilibrium Reversible Irreversible
For a certain reaction changeH֯ =-83.5 kJ and changeSͦ =-148 j/K. If the values of changeH֯ and changeSͦ can be assumed to be constant for all temperatures, the temperature at which the reaction is at equilibrium is?
Please answer question A and B.
A process that takes place so slowly as to be capable of reversing direction in response to an infinitesimally small change in conditions is defined as which of the following terms? O Nonspontaneous process Spontaneous change O Irreversible process Reversible process
Spontaneous chemical reactions proceed until they hit equilibrium. Once the reaction hits equilibrium, it stops until the product or reactant concentration changes. The reaction will then start again until the equilibrium concentrations of reactants and products are restored. If the statement isn’t accurate then tell me why that is the case.
