Question

Consider the spontaneous (G° < 0) reaction     2 O (g)  O2 (g)

 

Predict the sign of S, and H of the reaction.

(Hint: Consider S first analyzing the reaction)

   

S < 0 and H < 0

   

S < 0 and H > 0

   

S > 0 and H > 0

   

S > 0 and H < 0

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

The reaction given is

2 O (g) -----> O2 (g) 

Since in the above reaction, initially we had 2 gaseous atoms of O and finally we have only 1 gaseous molecule O2 

Hence the number of gaseous molecules is more in reactant side.

Hence the entropy of reactants are more than produced because the entropy of gases are very high and we have more gases in reactant side.

Hence the entropy change of the reaction i.e ΔS = entropy of product - entropy of reactant < 0
