Question
- Rank the following from lowest to highest entropy.
a)Br2 (l), Br2 (g), I2 (g)
(b) C4H8 (l), C4H10 (l), C4H6 (l)
- Predict the sign of ∆S for the following reactions.
- (a) H2O (s) → H2O (l)
- (b) NaCl (s) → NaCl (aq)
- (c) 3 NO2 (g) + H2O (l) → 2 HNO3 (aq) + NO (g)
- (d) 4 Fe (s) + 3 O2(g) → 2 Fe2O3 (s)
- For each reaction below, predict whether the reaction will be always spontaneous, never spontaneous, or sometimes spontaneous depending on temperature.
NOTE: We did not really practice this in lecture, but try and use the example of melting ice and its spontaneity as an example. Dispersing heat refers to enthalpy and dispersing matter refers to entropy.
Give it a try!
- A reaction disperses heat and disperses matter
- A reaction disperses heat, but not matter
- A reaction requires heat, but disperses matter.
- A reaction requires heat and does not disperse matter.
