(a)
Interpretation: The sign of change in entropy and change in enthalpy for the given reaction needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction: Entropy of any substance is defined by its degree of randomness. It increases with the molecular weight of a substance and its complexity. If concentration and pressure increase, the entropy of the substance decreases. Also, it depends on the state of the substance, for example, solid substances have less entropy as compared to liquid and gaseous substances have maximum entropy. For substances in the same state, the substance with higher molecular weight has greater entropy.
(b)
Interpretation: The value of T for change in Gibbs free energy to be less than 0 needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction: The change in Gibbs free energy
Here, T is the absolute temperature.

- Yeast can produce ethanol by the fermentation of glucose (C6H12O6), which is the basis for the production of most alcoholic beverages. C6H12O6(aq) 2 C2H5OH() + 2 CO2(g) Calculate rH, rS, and rG for the reaction at 25 C. Is the reaction product- or reactant-favored at equilibrium? In addition to the thermodynamic values in Appendix L, you will need the following data for C6H12O6(aq): fH = 1260.0 kl/mol; S = 289 J/K mol; and fG = 918.8 kl/mol.arrow_forward9.83 A student performing a calorimetry experiment combined 100.0 mL of 0.50 M HCl and 100.0 mL of 0.50 M NaOH in a coffee cup calorimeter. Both solutions were initially at 20.0°C, but when the two were mixed, the temperature rose to 23.2°C. (a) Suppose the experiment is repeated in the same calorimeter but this time using 200 mL of 0.50 M HCl and 200.0 mL of 0.50 M NaOH. Will the T observed he greater than, less than, or equal to that in the first experiment, and why? (b) Suppose that the experiment is repeated once again in the same calorimeter, this time using 100 mL of 1.00 M HCl and 100.0 mL of 1.00 M NaOH. Will the T observed he greater than, less than, or equal to that in the first experiment, and why?arrow_forwardSome water is placed in a coffee-cup calorimeter. When 1.0 g of an ionic solid is added, the temperature of the solution increases from 21.5C to 24.2C as the solid dissolves.

Using this value and other data available in Appendix L, calculate the value of fG for BaCO3(s).arrow_forwardWhen calculating rSfromSvalues, it is necessary to look up all substances, including elements in their standard state, such as O2(g), H2(g), and N2(g). When calculating rHfrom rHvalues, however, elements in theirstandard state can be ignored. Why is the situation different forSvalues?arrow_forwardFor the reaction TiCl2(s) + Cl2(g) TiCl4(), rG = 272.8 kj/mol-txn.
