Chapter 5, Problem 38P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the given reaction, the reaction which has larger ΔS0 value has to be identified.

Concept introduction:

 Entropy: it is a measure of the freedom of motion in a system.  Restricting the freedom of motion of a molecule depresses its entropy.

 ΔS0=Freedomofmotionoftheproducts-Freedomofmotionofthereactants

 ΔS0 Value of reaction will be positive only if the products possess greater freedom of motion than the reactant.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

It has to be checked that the reactions which have whether positive or negative ΔS0 value.

Concept introduction:

 Entropy: it is a measure of the freedom of motion in a system.  Restricting the freedom of motion of a molecule depresses its entropy.

ΔS0=Freedomofmotionoftheproducts-Freedomofmotionofthereactants

ΔS0 value of reaction will be positive only if the products possess greater freedom of motion than the reactant.

Under which conditions is a reaction sure to be reactant-favored? the reaction is endothermic and its ∆S is negative the reaction is endothermic and its ∆S is positive the reaction is exothermic and its ∆S is negative the reaction is exothermic and its ∆S is positive
Q7. Some spontaneous reactions take 20 million years for half of the reactants to be converted into products while other reactions take 10 seconds. What is the basis for this difference in rate?   A. Reactions take longer the closer their ΔG is to zero. B. The rate is dependent upon the concentration of substrate molecules. C. Reactions where substrate molecules can more readily reach the transition state occur faster. D. The rate of the reaction is dependent upon a supply of energy - thus coupled reactions that utilize ATP are the fastest.
