For each chemical reaction listed in the first column of the table below, predict the sign (positive or negative) of the reaction entropy ASxn. If it's not possible to decide with the information given, check the "not enough information" button in the last column. Note for advanced students: Assume the temperature remains constant. Assume all gases and solutions are ideal.

10.69 If a sample of air were separated into nitrogen and oxygen molecules (ignoring other gases present), what would be the sign of for this process? Explain your answer. The next four questions relate to the following paragraph [Frank L. Lambert, Journal of Chemical Education, 76(10), 1999, 1385]. "The movement of macro objects from one location to another by an external agent involves no change in the objects' physical (thermodynamic) entropy. The agent of movement undergoes a thermodynamic entropy increase in the process."
For one day, keep a log of all the activities you undertake that consume Gibbs free energy. Distinguish betweenGibbs free energy provided by nutrient metabolism andthat provided by other energy resources.
The standard molar entropy of iodine vapor, I2(g), is 260.7 J Kl mol-1 and the standard molar enthalpy of formation is 62.4 kJ/mol. a) Calculate the entropy change for vaporization of 1 mol of solid iodine (use data from Table 16.1 or Appendix J). b) Calculate the enthalpy change for sublimation of iodine. c) Assuming that rSdoes not change with temperature, estimate the temperature at which iodine would sublime (change directly from solid to gas).
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?
Explain why the statement No process is 100 efficient is not the best statement of the second law of thermodynamics.
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.
What is the sign of the standard Gibbs free-energy change at low temperatures and at high temperatures for the formation of hydrogen sulfide from the elements? H2(g)+18S8(s)H2S(g)
A 2.50-mol sample of gas is compressed isothermally from 20.0 L to 5.00 L under a constant external pressure of 10.0 atm. Calculate w, q, U, and H for the process.
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?
In the thermodynamic definition of a spontaneous process, why is it important that the phrase “continuous intervention” be used rather than just “intervention?”
