Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether either reaction of the given reactions (reaction 1 or reaction 2) is capable of performing work.

Introduction: Equilibrium constant represents the relation between reactants and products in a reaction at equilibrium. The concentrations of reactants and products are constant at equilibrium. Under conditions of a biochemical reaction, free energy (G) is defined as the amount of energy available to perform work.

For a particular reaction, AH° = −16.1 kJ/mol and AS° = −21.8 J/(mol·K). Assuming these values change very little with temperature, at what temperature does the reaction change from nonspontaneous to spontaneous in the forward direction? OT= Is the reaction in the forward direction spontaneous at temperatures greater than or less than the calculated temperature? less than greater than K
Consider the generic reaction2A+3B→2C,ΔHrxn=−100⁢kJIf a reaction mixture initially contains 5 mol of A and 6 mol of B, how much heat (in kJ) will have evolved once the reaction has occurred to the greatest extent possible? 150kj 200kj 300kj 100kJ
