1. For the reaction, H2Om→H2Oig), calculate AG at a) 20°C, b) 100°C and c) 150°C.
2. Calculate the standard-free energy changes for the reaction 2MgOs) + 2Mgis) + O2ig) at 25°C.
What is the significance of the Second Law of Thermodynamics? Chemical processes tend to favor one direction. Every
day, we observed spontaneous physical and chemical processes such as iron when exposed to water and oxygen forms
rust, but rust does not spontaneously change back to iron. Heat flows from a hotter object to a colder one, but the reverse
process never happens spontaneousły. A spoon of sugar dissolved in a cup of coffee, but the dissolved sugar does not
crystallize spontaneously.
Many biochemical reactions are nonspontaneous, with a positive AG° value, but they are essential for life to exist. These
reactions are coupled to an energetically favorable mechanism in living systems, one with a negative AG° value. During
metabolism, glucose is converted to carbon dioxide and water, releasing a significant amount of free energy.
