If you calculate a value for G for a reaction using the values of Gf in Appendix 4 and get a negative number, is it correct to say that the reaction is always spontaneous? Why or why not? Free energy changes also depend on concentration. For gases, how is G related to the pressure of the gas? What are standard pressures for gases and standard concentrations for solutes? How do you calculate G for a reaction at nonstandard conditions? The equation to determine G at nonstandard conditions has Q in it: What is Q? A reaction is spontaneous as long as G is negative; that is, reactions always proceed as long as the products have a lower free energy than the reactants. What is so special about equilibrium? Why dont reactions move away from equilibrium?

Many biochemical reactions that occur in cells require relatively high concentrations of potassium ion (K+). The concentration of K + in muscle cells is about 0.l5 M. The concentration of K+ in blood plasma is about 0.0050 M. The high internal concentration in cells is maintained by pumping K+ from the plasma. How much work must be done to transport 1.0 mole of K+ from the blood to the inside of a muscle cell at 37C, normal body temperature? When 1.0 mole of K+ is transferred from blood to the cells, do any other ions have to be transported? Why or why not?

Suppose that a hydrogen fuel cell, as described in the text, is to be operated at 75° C and atmospheric pressure. We wish to estimate the maximum electrical work done by the cell using, only the room-temperature data at the back of this book. It is convenient to first establish a zero-point for each of the three substances, H2 O2, and H20. Let us take G for both H2 and O2 to be zero at 25°C, so that G for a mole of H20 is -237 kJ at 25°C.(a) Using these conventions, estimate the Gibbs free energy of a mole of H2 at 75°C. Repeat for O2 and H20.(b) Using the results of part (a), calculate the maximum electrical work done by the cell at 75°C, for one mole of hydrogen fuel. Compare to the ideal performance of the cell at 25°C.
Electrochemical Equilibria: Electrochemical CellsHydrogen fuel cells produce electricity by utilizing a redox reaction between hydrogen gasand oxygen gas without the need for combustion. Oxidation of hydrogen gas to waterhappens at the anode, while reduction of oxygen gas to hydroxide happens at the cathode.A certain hydrogen fuel cell consumes pure hydrogen at the anode side at 80 kPa and usesair at 1 bar as the oxygen source in the cathode side. This fuel cell operates at 30 oC.Assuming no side reactions due to the existence of nitrogen in the cathode, answer thefollowing:a) What is the overall reaction? How is the overall reaction it different fromhydrogen combustion?b) Determine the standard cell potential, Eocellc) Determine the actual cell potential, Ecelld) What can you say about the spontaneity of the actual fuel cell reaction at lowtemperatures? Will spontaneity decrease or increase at lower temperatures?
From the thermodynamic data, ΔSsys for the given fuel cell reaction is negative but the reaction is still spontaneous. How can the negative entropy of the system be justified as spontaneous or is it simply violation of second law of thermodynamics? Explain in detail the various factors that can lead to the spontaneity of this reaction. 1⁄2 O2(g) + H2(g) → H2O(l)
Copper has been used for thousands of years, either as a pure metal or in alloys. It is frequently used today in the production of wires and cables. Copper can be obtained through smelting or recycling. Determine the energy associated with each of these processes in order to recycle 1.00 mol Cu. The smelting of copper occurs by the balanced chemical equation:CuO(s)+CO(g)Cu(s)+CO2(g)where ΔH°f,CuO is = –155 kJ/mol. Assume the process of recycling copper is simplified to just the melting of the solid Cu starting at 25°C. The melting point of Cu is 1084.5°C with ΔH°fus = 13.0 kJ/mol and a molar heat capacity, cP,Cu = 24.5 J/mol·°C.
