For the reaction NO(g)+NO2(g)N2O3(g) , use tabulated thermodynamic data to calculate H and S. Then use those values to answer the following questions. (a) Is this reaction spontaneous at 25°C? Explain your answer. (b) If the reaction is not spontaneous at 25°C, will it become spontaneous at higher temperatures or lower temperatures? (c) To show that your prediction is accurate, choose a temperature that corresponds to your prediction in part (b) and calculate G . (Assume that both enthalpy and entropy are independent of temperature.)
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.
What is the second law of thermodynamics? For any process, there are four possible sign combinations for Ssys and Ssurr. Which sign combination(s) always give a spontaneous process? Which sign combination(s) always give a non-spontaneous process? Which sign combination(s) may or may not give a spontaneous process?
Would the amount of heat absorbed by the dissolution in Example 5.6 appear greater, lesser, or remain the same if the heat capacity of the calorimeter were taken into account? Explain your answer.
How does the second law of thermodynamics explain a spontaneous change in a system that becomes more ordered when that process is exothermic?
Thermite reactions have been used for welding metal parts such as railway rails and in metal refining. One such thermite reaction is Fe2O3(s)+2Al(s)Al2O3(s)+2Fe(s). Is the reaction spontaneous at room temperature under standard conditions? During the reaction, the surroundings absorb 851.8 kJ/mol of heat.
On the basis of your experience, predict which of the following reactions are spontaneous. (a) CO2(s)CO2(g) at 25°C (b) NaCl(s)NaCl(l) at 25°C (c) 2NaCl(s)2Na(s)+Cl2(g) (d) CO2(g)C(s)+O2(g)
Explain in your own words what is meant by the term entropy. Explain how both matter spread and energy spread are related to the concept of entropy.
For one day, keep a log of all the activities you undertake that consume Gibbs free energy. Distinguish betweenGibbs free energy provided by nutrient metabolism andthat provided by other energy resources.
Define the following: a. spontaneous process b. entropy c. positional probability d. system e. surroundings f. universe
Explain why the statement No process is 100 efficient is not the best statement of the second law of thermodynamics.
Many plastic materials are organic polymers that contain carbon and hydrogen. The oxidation of these plastics in air to farm carbon dioxide and water is a spontaneous process; however, plastic materials tend to persist in the environment. Explain.
