O ENTROPY AND FREE ENERGY Calculating entropy change using the Boltzmann hypothesis DEN A chlorine (Cl) and bromine (Br) atom are adsorbed on a small patch of surface (see sketch at right). This patch is known to contain 16 possible adsorption sites. The Cl and bromine (Br) atoms have enough energy to move from site to site, so they could be on any two of them. Suppose the Br atom desorbs from the surface and drifts away. Calculate the change in entropy. One way a Cl and Br atom might be adsorbed on a surface with 16 sites. Round your answer to 2 significant digits, and be sure it has the correct unit symbol. x10 www.eca Check Explanation Privacy O2019 McGraw-Hill Education. All Rights Reserved. Terms of Use

The first step in the heterogeneoushydrogenation of ethylene is adsorption of theethylene molecule on a metal surface. One proposed explanation for the “sticking” of ethylene to a metalsurface is the interaction of the electrons in the C—C π bond with vacant orbitals on the metal surface. (a) If thisnotion is correct, would ethane be expected to adsorb to a metal surface, and, if so, how strongly would ethane bindcompared to ethylene? (b) Based on its Lewis structure,would you expect ammonia to adsorb to a metal surfaceusing a similar explanation as for ethylene?
In chemical kinetics, the entropy of activation is the entropy change for the process in which the reactants reach the activated complex. Predict whether the entropy of activation for a bimolecular process is usually positive or negative.
