chemical reaction has a positive change in entropy. According to the diagram below, that else is true about the reaction? AS Yes, -AG spontaneous at any temperature Spontaneous only at high temps, if T AS > AH AH 7 AH Spontaneous only at low temps, if |T AS| < AH| No, +AG non-spontanous at any temperature AS A If its change in enthalpy is negative, it is spontaneous at all temperatures. B If its change in enthalpy is positive, it is not spontaneous at any temperature. If its change in enthalpy is positive, it is not spontaneous at higher temperatures. D If its change in enthalpy is negative, it is spontaneous only at higher temperatures.

For the process A(l) A(g), which direction is favored by changes in energy probability? Positional probability? Explain your answers. If you wanted to favor the process as written, would you raise or lower the temperature of the system? Explain.
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?
In the thermodynamic definition of a spontaneous process, why is it important that the phrase “continuous intervention” be used rather than just “intervention?”
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.
What is the second law of thermodynamics? For any process, there are four possible sign combinations for Ssys and Ssurr. Which sign combination(s) always give a spontaneous process? Which sign combination(s) always give a non-spontaneous process? Which sign combination(s) may or may not give a spontaneous process?
The synthesis of glucose directly from CO2 and H2O and the synthesis of proteins directly from amino acids are both non-spontaneous processes under standard conditions. Yet it is necessary for these to occur for life to exist. In light of the second law of thermodynamics, how can life exist?
The biological oxidation of ethanol, C2H5OH, is also a source of Gibbs free energy. (a) Does the oxidation of 1 g ethanol give more or lessenergy than the oxidation of 1 g glucose?(Hint:Writethe balanced equation for the production of carbondioxide and water from ethanol and oxygen, and useAppendix J.) (b) Comment on potential problems of replacing glucosewith ethanol in your diet.
Chemists and engineers who design nuclear power plants have to worry about high-temperature reactions because it is possible for water to decompose. (a) Under what conditions does this reaction occur spontaneously? 2H2O(g) 2H2(g) + O2(g) (b) Under conditions where the decomposition of water is spontaneous, do nuclear engineers have to worry about an oxygen/hydrogen explosion? Justify your answer.
What types of experiments can be carried out to determine whether a reaction is spontaneous? Does spontaneity have any relationship to the final equilibrium position of a reaction? Explain.
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)
The standard molar entropy of methanol vapor, CH3OH(g), is 239.8 J K1 mol-1. (a) Calculate the entropy change for the vaporization of 1 mol methanol (use data from Table 16.1 or Appendix J). (b) Calculate the enthalpy of vaporization of methanol, assuming that rS doesnt depend on temperature and taking the boiling point of methanol to be 64.6C.
Appendix J lists standard molar entropies S, not standard entropies of formation rS. Why is this possible forentropy but not for internal energy, enthalpy, or Gibbsfree energy?
