The data collected today may have shown a decrease in temp after several mins of constant temp. What does the eventual decrease in temp tell us about the calorimeter ?
21. Solid ammonium carbamate, NH4CO₂NH2, decomposes to ammonia and carbon dioxide when it sublimes:
NH4CO₂NH2 (s) = 2NH3(g) +CO2 (g)
Imagine a sample of ammonium carbamate is allowed to decompose in an evacuated sealed container at 25°C
(evacuated means no gas components at the start of the reaction). The decomposition is endothermic, and the
Kp at 25°C is 2.3 x104.
Tuming
a. What are the partial pressures of NH3 and CO₂ at equilibrium? What is the total pressure in the container
at equilibrium? Assume the mixture is ideal.

- During polymerization, the system usually becomes more ordered as monomers link together. Could an endothermic polymerization reaction ever occur spontaneously? Explain.arrow_forwardAmoxicillin is an antibiotic packaged as a powder. When it is used to treat babies and small animals, the pharmacist or veterinarian must suspend it in water, so that it can be administered orally with a medicine dropper. The label says to dispose of unused suspension after 14 days. It also points out that refrigeration is required. In the context of this chapter, what is implied in the latter two statements?arrow_forward7-69 Pure carbon exists is several forms, two of which are diamond and graphite. The conversion of the diamond form to the graphite form is exothermic to a very slight extent. How is it that jewelers can advertise "Diamonds are forever"?arrow_forward
- Cobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate, CoCl26H2O, is a bright pink compound, but in the presence of very dry air it loses water vapor to the air to produce the light blue anhydrous salt CoCl2. Calculate the standard free-energy change for the reaction at 25C: CoCl26H2O(s)CoCl2(s)+6H2O(g) Here are some thermodynamic data at 25C: What is the partial pressure of water vapor in equilibrium with the anhydrous salt and the hexahydrate at 25C? (Give the value in mmHg.) What is the relative humidity of air that has this partial pressure of water? The relative humidity of a sample of air is Relativehumidity=partialpressureofH2O(g)inairvaporpressureofwater100 What do you expect to happen to the equilibrium partial pressure over the hexahydrate as the temperature is raised? Explain.arrow_forwardSilicon forms a series of compounds analogous to the al-kanes and having the general formula SinH2n+2. The first of these compounds is silane, SiH4, which is used in the electronics industry to produce thin ultrapure silicon films. SiH4(g) is somewhat difficult to work with because it is py-ropboric at room temperature—meaning that it bursts into flame spontaneously when exposed to air. (a) Write an equation for the combustion of SiH4(g). (The reaction is analogous to hydrocarbon combustion, and SiO2 is a solid under standard conditions. Assume the water produced will be a gas.) (b) Use the data from Appendix E to calculate ? for this reaction. (c) Calculate G and show that the reaction is spontaneous at 25°C. (d) Compare G for this reaction to the combustion of methane. (See the previous problem.) Are the reactions in these two exercises enthalpy or entropy driven? Explain.arrow_forwardMonochloroethane (C2H5Cl) can be produced by the direct reaction of ethane gas (C2H6) with chlorine gas or by the reaction of ethylene gas (C2H4) with hydrogen chloride gas. The second reaction gives almost a 100% yield of pure C2H5Cl at a rapid rate without catalysis. The first method requires light as an energy source or the reaction would not occur. Yet G for the first reaction is considerably more negative than G for the second reaction. Explain how this can be so.arrow_forward
- The combustion of methane, is an exothermic process. Therefore, the products of this reaction must possess (higher/ lower) total potential energy than do the reactants.arrow_forwardThe recycling of polymers represents only one industrial process that allows creating order in one location by creating greater disorder at some other location, often at a power plant. List three other industrial processes that must create disorder in the surroundings to generate the desired material.arrow_forwardSilver carbonate, Ag2CO3, is a light yellow compound that decomposes when heated to give silver oxide and carbon dioxide: Ag2CO3(s)Ag2O(s)+CO2(g) A researcher measured the partial pressure of carbon dioxide over a sample of silver carbonate at 220C and found that it was 1.37 atm. Calculate the partial pressure of carbon dioxide at 25C. The standard enthalpies of formation of silver carbonate and silver oxide at 25C are 505.9 kJ/mol and 31.05 kJ/mol, respectively. Make any reasonable assumptions in your calculations. State the assumptions that you make, and note why you think they are reasonable.arrow_forward

But clearly the need to occasionally reboot the control system for the power grid would not be acceptable. Use the web to research ways that engineers ensure the reliability of crucial systems like the control infrastructure of the grid, and write a paragraph summarizing the main strategies employed.arrow_forward9.20 State the first law of thermodynamics briefly in your own words.arrow_forward
