Chapter 17, Problem 17.63QE

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given reaction, the value of ${\text{ΔH}}^{\text{o}}\text{,}{\text{ΔS}}^{\text{o}}\text{and}{\text{ΔG}}^{\text{o}}$ have to be calculated; the direction of spontaneous is whether consistent with the sign of the enthalpy change, the entropy change or both has to be stated.

  $H_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right)+\frac{1}{2}{O}_2\left(g\right)\to H_{\text{2}}\text{O}\left(\text{l}\right)$

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given reaction, the value of ${\text{ΔH}}^{\text{o}}\text{,}{\text{ΔS}}^{\text{o}}\text{and}{\text{ΔG}}^{\text{o}}$ have to be calculated; the direction of spontaneous is whether consistent with the sign of the enthalpy change, the entropy change or both has to be stated.

  $\text{CO}\left(\text{g}\right)+2{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\left(g\right)\to {\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{OH}\left(\text{l}\right)$
