At body temperature, many proteins have a well-defined structure that is essential to their function. However, as the temperature is raised, the structure changes and the protein is no longer functional. This process is referred to as protein denaturation. What can be deduced from this information about the signs of the enthalpy and entropy changes for denaturation? There is insufficient information to deduce anything about the signs of AH and AS. ΔΗ< 0 and ΔS>0 O AH> 0 and AS> 0

The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that entropy increases for spontaneousprocesses and that an increase in entropy is associated with transitions from ordered todisordered states. Living organisms, even the simplest bacteria growing in cultures, appearto violate the Second Law because they grow and proliferate spontaneously. They convertsimple chemical substances into the highly organized structure of their descendants. Writea critical evaluation of the proposition that living organisms contradict the Second Law.Be sure to state your conclusion clearly and to present detailed, reasoned arguments tosupport it.
The temperature dependence of the heat capacity of non-metallic solids is found to follow the Debye T3 -law at very low temperatures, with Cp,m = aT3.

The protein lysozyme unfolds at a transition temperature of 75.5 °C and the standard −1 enthalpy of transition is 509 kJmol . Calculate the entropy of unfolding of lysozyme at 25.0 °C, given that the difference in the constant pressure heat capacities upon unfolding is 6.28 kJK−1mol−1 and can be assumed to be independent of temperature. Hint: Imagine that the transition at 25.0 °C occurs in three steps: (i) heating of the folded protein from 25.0 °C to the transition temperature, (ii) unfolding at the transition temperature, and(iii) cooling of the unfolded protein to 25.0 °C. (Note: Because the entropy is a state function, the entropy change at 25.0 °C is equal to the sum of the entropy changes of the steps.)

A chemical engineer is studying the two reactions shown in the table below. In each case, he fills a reaction vessel with some mixture of the reactants and products at a constant temperature of 72.0 °C and constant total pressure. Then, he measures the reaction enthalpy A/ and reaction entropy AS of the first reaction, and the reaction enthalpy A/ and reaction free energy AG of the second reaction. The results of his measurements are shown in the table. Complete the table. That is, calculate AG for the first reaction and AS for the second. (Round your answer to zero decimal places.) Then, decide whether, under the conditions the engineer has set up, the reaction is spontaneous, the reverse reaction is spontaneous, or neither forward nor reverse reaction is spontaneous because the system is at equilibrium.
