1.)Consider the conversion of dichloroethane (C2H4Cl2) to Cl2 and ethylene (C2H4) gases:
C2H4Cl2 (g) Cl2(g) + C2H4 (g)
At 298K and standard conditions this reaction is non-spontaneous.
- Without doing any calculations, and just by looking at the reaction, deduce the sign of DSo.
The sign of DSo is positive . I know this because (give two reasons):
- It has more gaseous product than the reactant
- The higher number gas molecules mean higher entropy.
- Calculate DSo from the given values of So for the reactants and products.
So (C2H4Cl2, g) = 306.5 J/Kmol ; So (Cl2,g)= 223.07 J/Kmol; So (C2H4,g) = 219.36 J/Kmol
1mol (233.07) + 1mol (219.36) – 1mol (306.5)
= 135.95J/K
DSo = 135.95J/K (give units)
- Using only the information you know so far, what must the sign of DHo be? positive
Explain how you know this.
Since the reaction is non-spontaneous, ∆Gorxn is positive. Also, we have found that ∆So is also positive. In the equation ∆Gorxn = ∆Horxn - T*∆So. Since ∆So is positive, then T*∆So will be part negative. So, ∆Gorxn = ∆Horxn - T*∆So will be positive, only if ∆Horxn is positive.
- Now calculate the value of DHo using the values of DHfo given here:
DHfo(C2H4Cl2, g) = -132.2 J/Kmol ; DHfo (C2H4,g) = 52.4 J/Kmol
∆Horxn = 1 mol (0kj/ mol) + 1 mol (52.4kj/ mol) – 1 mol (-132.2kj/ mol)
= 184.6 KJ
DHo = 184.6 KJ (give units)
e.)What is the value of Kp at 298 K?
KP = Comment on the magnitude (size) of this number. What does it mean?
f.)Would the spontaneity of this reaction change as temperature changes? If so, please describe what specifically happens to the spontaneity as T changes. If it does not change, say why not. If there is a “crossover temperature” calculate it.
