1. Circle the correct answer: a. For a reaction to occur spontaneously, which must have the higher free energy: (reactants or products or equal.) b. A reaction must occur spontaneously if AH is (positive or negative) and AS is (positive or negative.) c. For this reaction, the entropy (increases or decreases): H2(9) 2H() -> d. The equilibrium constant for A B+C is 10-5, therefore, when all concentrations are 1 M (A spontaneously → B+C or B + C spontaneously ►A) and the change in free energy is (positive or negative.)

In Figure 16.8 all of the possible distributions and microstates are shown for four different particles shared between two boxes. Determine the entropy change, S, for the system when it is converted from distribution (b) to distribution (d).
Without doing a numerical calculation, determine which of the following will reduce the free energy change for the reaction, that is, make it less positive or more negative, when the temperature is increased. Explain. (a) N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g) (b) HCl(g)+NH3(g)NH4Cl(s) (c) (NH4)2Cr2O7(s)Cr2O3(s)+4H2O(g)+N2(g) (d) 2Fe(s)+3O2(g)Fe2O3(s)
What is a nonspontaneous reaction?
In Figure 16.8 all possible distributions and microstates are shown for four different particles shared between two boxes. Determine the entropy change, S, if the particles are initially evenly distributed between the two boxes, but upon redistribution all end up in Box (b).
Over what temperature range are the reactions in Problem 40 spontaneous?
Many plastic materials are organic polymers that contain carbon and hydrogen. The oxidation of these plastics in air to farm carbon dioxide and water is a spontaneous process; however, plastic materials tend to persist in the environment. Explain.
If you calculate a value for G for a reaction using the values of Gf in Appendix 4 and get a negative number, is it correct to say that the reaction is always spontaneous? Why or why not? Free energy changes also depend on concentration. For gases, how is G related to the pressure of the gas? What are standard pressures for gases and standard concentrations for solutes? How do you calculate G for a reaction at nonstandard conditions? The equation to determine G at nonstandard conditions has Q in it: What is Q? A reaction is spontaneous as long as G is negative; that is, reactions always proceed as long as the products have a lower free energy than the reactants. What is so special about equilibrium? Why dont reactions move away from equilibrium?
On the basis of your experience, predict which of the following reactions are spontaneous. (a) CO2(s)CO2(g) at 25°C (b) NaCl(s)NaCl(l) at 25°C (c) 2NaCl(s)2Na(s)+Cl2(g) (d) CO2(g)C(s)+O2(g)

Which reaction occurs with the greater increase in entropy? Explain your reasoning. (a) 2H2O(l)2H2(g)+O2(g) (b) C(s)+O2(g)CO2(g)
Consider two processes: sublimation of I2(s) and melting of I2(s) (Note: the latter process can occur at the same temperature but somewhat higher pressure). I2(s)I2(g)I2(s)I2(l) Is S positive or negative in these processes? In which of the processes will the magnitude of the entropy change be greater?
