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.
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).
A 220-ft3 sample of gas at standard temperature and pressure is compressed into a cylinder, where it exerts pressure of 2000 psi. Calculate the work (in J) performed when this gas expands isothermally against an opposing pressure of 1.0 atm. (The amount of work that can be done is equivalent to the destructive force of about 1/4 lb of dynamite, giving you an idea of how potentially destructive compressed gas cylinders can be if improperly handled!)
In the thermodynamic definition of a spontaneous process, why is it important that the phrase “continuous intervention” be used rather than just “intervention?”
The deciding factor on why HF is a weak acid and not a strong acid like the other hydrogen halides is entropy. What occurs when HF dissociates in water as compared to the other hydrogen halides?
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?
Consider the system shown in Figure 16.9. What is the change in entropy for the process where the energy is initially associated only with particle A, but in the final state the energy is distributed between two different particles?
Limestone is predominantly CaCO3, which can undergo the reaction CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g). We know from experience that this reaction is not spontaneous, yet S for the reaction is positive. How can the second law of thermodynamics explain that this reaction is not spontaneous?
There is another free energy state function, the Helmholtz free energy (A), defined as A = E — TS. Comparing this to the definition of G, we see that internal energy has replaced enthalpy in the definition. Under what conditions would this free energy tell us whether or not a process is spontaneous?
Explain why absolute entropies can be measured.
