Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 17.50QE
For each process, tell whether the entropy change of the system is positive or negative.
- (a) A glassblower heats glass (the system) to its softening temperature.
- (b) A teaspoon of sugar dissolves in a cup of coffee. (The system consists of both sugar and coffee.)
- (c) Calcium carbonate precipitates out of water in a cave to form stalactites and stalagmites. (Consider only the calcium carbonate to be the system.)

Topic: Photochemistry and Photophysics of Supramolecules
Two cations that exchange an electron in an interface, the exchange density is worth 1.39 mA/cm2 and the current density is worth 15 mA/cm2 at 25°C. If the overvoltage is 0.14 V, calculate the reaction rate and symmetry factor. Data: R = 8,314 J mol-1 k-1: F = 96500 C
With the help of the Tafel line, it is estimated that the interchange density of the VO2+/VO2+ system on the carbon paper has a value of 3 mA cm-2. Calculate a) the current density if the voltage has a value of 1.6 mV and the temperature is 25°C. b) the beta value of the anódico process if the Tafel pendulum is 0.6 V at 25°C. Data: R = 8.314 JK-1mol-1, y F = 96485 C mol-1.
