The following data compare the standard enthalpies and free energies of formation of some crystalline ionic substances and aqueous solutions of the substances:
Substance | ΔHOf (KJ / mol) | Δ GOf (KJ / mol) |
AgNO3(s) | −124.4 | −33.4 |
AgNO3(aq) | −101.7 | −34.2 |
MgSO4(S) | −1283.7 | -1169.6 |
MgSO4(aq) | −1374.8 | -1198.4 |
Write the formation reaction for AgNO3 (s). Based on this reaction, do you expect the entropy of the system to increase or decrease upon the formation of AgNO3 (s)?
(b) Use ΔHO f and ΔGO f of AgNO3 (S) to determine the entropy change upon formation of the substance. Is your answer consistent with your reasoning in part (a)?
(c ) Is dissolving AgNO3 in water an exothermic or endothermic process?
What about dissolving MgSO4 in water?
(d) For both AgNO3 and MgSO4, use the data to calculate the entropy change when the solid is dissolved in water.
(e) Discuss the results from part (d) with reference to material presented in this chapter and in the “A Closer Look” box on page 814.

A chlorine analysis of the substance indicates that it contains 83.47% chlorine by mass. What element is X and what is the formula of this compound? (Hint: to identify an element or compound, identify its molar mass. Remember that Molar Mass = (grams A)/(moles A). Solve for each individually and then divide them to find molar mass.)arrow_forward

Recently, however, MTBE has been found in the drinking water of a number of communities. As a result several states are phasing out the use of MTBE as a fuel additive. A combustion experiment using 10.00 g of MTBE was found to produce 24.97g of CO2 and 12.26 g of H2O. (a) What is the empirical formula of MTBE assuming it contains C, H, and O only?
