Chapter 16.6, Problem 16.6PSP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The temperature at which the reaction, $2\text{CO}\left(\text{g}\right)+{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right)\to 2{\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right)$, would changes from product-favored to reactant-favored has to be predicted

Concept Introduction:

The term entropy is used to represent the randomness in a system.  When a system moves from an ordered arrangement to a less order arrangement, then the entropy of the system increases.  The second law of thermodynamics state that “the entropy of the system either increases or remains the same.”

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The temperature condition required to produce carbon dioxide gas in the reaction, $2\text{CO}\left(\text{g}\right)+{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right)\to 2{\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right)$, has to be stated.
