Answer to Problem 50QRT
The value of ΔrSο is 235.172JK-1mol-1_ and the value of ΔrHο is -2801.58kJmol-1_.
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is shown below.
C6H12O6(s)+6O2(g)→6CO2(g)+6H2O(l)
The standard enthalpy change for the reaction (ΔrHο) is calculated by using the expression shown below.
ΔrHο=∑m⋅Hο(products)−∑n⋅Hο(reactants)
Where,
- Hο(products) is the standard heat of formation of products.
- Hο(reactants) is the standard heat of formation of reactants.
- m is the total moles of products.
- n is the total moles of reactants.
For the given reaction, the standard enthalpy change is calculated by the expression shown below.
ΔrHο=[6⋅Hοf(CO2(g))+6⋅Hοf(H2O(l))]−[1⋅Hοf(C6H12O6(s))+6⋅Hοf(O2(g))]
The value of Hοf(CO2(g)) is −393.509 kJ mol−1.
The value of Hοf(H2O(l)) is −285.83 kJ mol−1.
The value of Hοf(C6H12O6(s)) is −1274.4 kJ mol−1.
The value of Hοf(O2(g)) is 0 kJ mol−1.
Substitute the values in the above expression.
ΔrHο=[6⋅Hοf(CO2(g))+6⋅Hοf(H2O(l))]−[1⋅Hοf(C6H12O6(s))+6⋅Hοf(O2(g))]=[6×(−393.509 kJ mol−1)+6×(−285.83 kJ mol−1)]−[1×(−1274.4 kJ mol−1)+6×(0 kJ mol−1)]=−4075.98 kJ mol−1+1274.4 kJ mol−1=-2801.58kJmol-1_
The value of ΔrHο is -2801.58kJmol-1_.
The standard entropy change for the reaction (ΔrSο) is calculated by using the expression shown below.
ΔrSο=∑m⋅Sο(products)−∑n⋅Sο(reactants)
Where,
- Sο(products) is the absolute molar entropy of products.
- Sο(reactants) is the absolute molar entropy of reactants.
- m is the total moles of products.
- n is the total moles of reactants.
For the given reaction, the standard entropy change is calculated by the expression shown below.
ΔrSο=[6⋅Sοf(CO2(g))+6⋅Sοf(H2O(l))]−[1⋅Sοf(C6H12O6(s))+6⋅Sοf(O2(g))]
The value of Sοf(CO2(g)) is 213.74 J k−1 mol−1.
The value of Sοf(H2O(l)) is 69.91 J k−1 mol−1.
The value of Sοf(C6H12O6(s)) is 235.9 J k−1 mol−1.
The value of Sοf(O2(g)) is 205.138 J k−1 mol−1.
Substitute the values in the above expression.
ΔrSο=[6⋅Sοf(CO2(g))+6⋅Sοf(H2O(l))]−[1⋅Sοf(C6H12O6(s))+6⋅Sοf(O2(g))]=[6×(213.74 J k−1 mol−1)+6×(69.91 J k−1 mol−1)]−[1×(235.9 J k−1 mol−1)+6×(205.138 J k−1 mol−1)]=1701.9 J K−1 mol−1−1466.728 J K−1 mol−1=235.172JK-1mol-1_
The value of ΔrSο is 235.172JK-1mol-1_.
The value of entropy is positive; therefore, the term TΔrSο will be negative. Enthalpy is also negative. Therefore, the Gibbs free energy will be negative. Hence, the reaction will be product-favored.

The value of ΔrSο is -121.316JK-1mol-1_ and the value of ΔrHο is 166.36kJmol-1_.
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is shown below.
MgO(s)+C(s,graphite)→Mg(s)+CO(g)
The standard enthalpy change for the reaction (ΔrHο) is calculated by using the expression shown below.

Where,
- Hο(products) is the standard heat of formation of products.
- Hο(reactants) is the standard heat of formation of reactants.
- m is the total moles of products.
- n is the total moles of reactants.

The value of Hοf(MgO(s)) is −601.7 kJ mol−1.
The value of Hοf(C(s)) is 0 kJ mol−1.
The value of Hοf(Mg(s)) is 0 kJ mol−1.
The value of Hοf(CO(g)) is −110.525 kJ mol−1.
Substitute the values in the above expression.
ΔrHο=[1⋅Hοf(Mg(s))+1⋅Hοf(CO(g))]−[1⋅Hοf(MgO(s))+1⋅Hοf(C(s))]=[1×(0 kJ mol−1)+1×(−110.525 kJ mol−1)]−[1×(−601.7 kJ mol−1)+1×(0 kJ mol−1)]=491.175 kJmol-1_
The value of ΔrHο is 491.175 kJmol-1_.
The standard entropy change for the reaction (ΔrSο) is calculated by using the expression shown below.
ΔrSο=∑m⋅Sο(products)−∑n⋅Sο(reactants)

The value of Sοf(C(s)) is 5.74 J K−1 mol−1.
The value of Sοf(Mg(s)) is 32.68 J K−1 mol−1.
The value of Sοf(CO(g)) is 197.674 J K−1 mol−1.
Substitute the values in the above expression.
ΔrSο=[1⋅Sοf(Mg(s))+1⋅Sοf(CO(g))]−[1⋅Sοf(MgO(s))+1⋅Sοf(C(s))]=[1×(32.68 J K−1 mol−1)+1×(197.674 J K−1 mol−1)]−[1×(26.94 J K−1 mol−1)+1×(5.74 J K−1 mol−1)]=230.354 J K−1 mol−1−32.68 J K−1 mol−1=197.674JK-1mol-1_
The value of ΔrSο is 197.674JK-1mol-1_.
The value of entropy is positive; therefore, the term TΔrSο will be negative. Enthalpy is positive. Therefore, the Gibbs free energy will negative at high temperatures. Hence, the reaction will be product-favored at high-temperatures.
