Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The following statement has to be justified.
“Exothermic reactions are spontaneous but endothermic reactions are nonspontaneous.”
Concept Introduction:
- Spontaneous process has positive entropy value and negative free energy, enthalpy value.
- Non-spontaneous process tends to proceed with negative entropy value and positive free energy and enthalpy.
- A reaction which proceeds with absorption of heat is called endothermic reaction whereas a reaction which proceeds with release of heat is called exothermic reaction.

Coal is a complex material, but for simplicity we may consider it to be a form of carbon. The energy that can be derived from a fuel is sometimes compared with the enthalpy of the combustion reaction: C(s)+O2(g)CO2(g) Calculate the standard enthalpy change for this reaction at 25C. Actually, only a fraction of the heat from this reaction is available to produce electric energy. In electric generating plants, this reaction is used to generate heat for a steam engine, which turns the generator. Basically the steam engine is a type of heat engine in which steam enters the engine at high temperature (Th), work is done, and the steam then exits at a lower temperature (Tl). The maximum fraction, f, of heat available to produce useful energy depends on the difference between these temperatures (expressed in kelvins), f = (Th Tl)/Th. What is the maximum heat energy available for useful work from the combustion of 1.00 mol of C(s) to CO2(g)? (Assume the value of H calculated at 25C for the heat obtained in the generator.) It is possible to consider more efficient ways to obtain useful energy from a fuel. For example, methane can be burned in a fuel cell to generate electricity directly. The maximum useful energy obtained in these cases is the maximum work, which equals the free-energy change. Calculate the standard free-energy change for the combustion of 1.00 mol of C(s) to CO2(g). Compare this value with the maximum obtained with the heat engine described here.arrow_forwardWhat is meant by the standard free-energy change G for a reaction?
