Is the formation of ozone (O3(g)) from oxygen (O2(g)) spontaneous at room temperature under standard state conditions?
What information can be determined from G for a reaction? Does one get the same information from G, the standard free energy change? G allows determination of the equilibrium constant K for a reaction. How? How can one estimate the value of K at temperatures other than 25C for a reaction? How can one estimate the temperature where K = 1 for a reaction? Do all reactions have a specific temperature where K = 1?
Consider the reaction: H2S(g)+SO2(g)3S(g)+2H2O(l) for which H is 233 kJ and S is 424 J/K. a. Calculate the free energy change for the reaction (G) at 393 K. b. Assuming H and S do not depend on temperature, at what temperatures is this reaction spontaneous?
Consider the reaction Fe2O3(s)+3H2(g)2Fe(s)+3H2O(g) a. Use Gf values in Appendix 4 to calculate G for this reaction. b. Is this reaction spontaneous under standard conditions at 298 K? c. The value of H for this reaction is 100. kJ. At what temperatures is this reaction spontaneous at standard conditions? Assume that H and S do not depend on temperature.
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.)

Use the standard free energy of formation data in Appendix G to determine the free energy change for each of the following reactions, which are run under standard state conditions and 25 C. Identify each as either spontaneous or nonspontaneous at these conditions. (a) MnO2(s)Mn(s)+O2(g) (b) H2(g)+Br2(l)2HBr(g) (c) Cu(s)+S(g)CuS(s) (d) 2LiOH(s)+CO2(g)Li2CO3(s)+H2O(g) (e) CH4(g)+O2(g)C(s,graphite)+2H2O(g) (f) CS2(g)+3Cl2(g)CCl4(g)+S2Cl2(g)
Thermodynamics provides a way to interpret everyday occurrences. If you live in northern climates, one common experience is that during early winter, snow falls but then melts when it hits the ground. Both the formation and the melting happen spontaneously. How can thermodynamics explain both of these seemingly opposed events?
The Ostwald process for the commercial production of nitric acid involves three steps: 4NH3(g)+5O2(g)825CPt4NO(g)+6H2O(g)2NO(g)+O2(g)2NO2(g)3NO2(g)+H2O(l)2HNO3(l)+NO(g) a. Calculate H, S,G and K (at 298 K) for each of the three steps in the Ostwald process (see Appendix 4). b. Calculate the equilibrium constant for the first step at 825C, assuming H and S do not depend on temperature. c. Is there a thermodynamic reason for the high temperature in the first step, assuming standard conditions?
