a) Formulate the 2nd law of thermodynamics. b) Consider the following statements concerning changes in entropy. Answer the questions and give brief explanations. "In the winter, the cold creeps into your house.". How would you rephrase this statement considering the 2nd law of thermodynamics? When TNT, C7H5N3O6(s) reacts with oxygen, it results in CO2(g), H₂O(g), and N2(g). Does entropy increase or decrease as a result of this reaction? A common high school experiment is the growth of alum-crystals from salt-solutions. Is the entropy of the crystal higher or lower than of the solution?

A student dissolves 10.3g of ammonium nitrate NH4NO3 in 300.g of water in a well-insulated open cup. He then observes the temperature of the water fall from 22.0°C to 19.3°C over the course of 3.1 minutes. Use this data, and any information you need from the ALEKS Data resource, to answer the questions below about this reaction: NH4NO3s -> NH+4aq + NO−3aq You can make any reasonable assumptions about the physical properties of the solution. Be sure answers you calculate using measured data are rounded to the correct number of significant digits. Is this reaction exothermic, endothermic, or neither? If you said the reaction was exothermic or endothermic, calculate the amount of heat that was released or absorbed by the reaction in this case. Calculate the reaction enthalpy ΔHrxn per mole of NH4NO3.
