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 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?
The enthalpy of vaporization of ethanol is 38.7 kJ/mol at its boiling point (78C). Determine Ssys, Ssurr, and Suniv when 1.00 mole of ethanol is vaporized at 78C and 1.00 atm.
Thermite reactions have been used for welding metal parts such as railway rails and in metal refining. One such thermite reaction is Fe2O3(s)+2Al(s)Al2O3(s)+2Fe(s). Is the reaction spontaneous at room temperature under standard conditions? During the reaction, the surroundings absorb 851.8 kJ/mol of heat.
Methane can be produced from CO and H2.The process might be done in two steps, as shown below, with each step carried out in a separate reaction vessel within the production plant. Reaction 1 CO(g)+2H2(g)CH3OH(l) S = -532 J/K Reaction 2 CH3OH(l)CH4(g)+12O2(g) S= +162 J/K NOTE: You should be able to work this problem without using any additional tabulated data. (a) Calculate H for reaction 1. (b) Calculate Gf for CO(g). (c) Calculate S° for O2(g). (d) At what temperatures is reaction 1 spontaneous? (e) Suggest a reason why these two steps would need to be carried out separately.

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?
The reaction CO2(g)+H2(g)CO(g)+H2O(g) is not spontaneous at room temperature but becomes spontaneous at a much higher temperature. What can you conclude from this about the signs of H and S , assuming that the enthalpy and entropy changes are not greatly affected by the temperature change? Explain your reasoning.
When ammonium chloride is added to water and stirred, it dissolves spontaneously and the resulting solution feels cold. Without doing any calculations, deduce the signs of G, H, and S for this process, and justify your choices.
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.
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).
Many plastic materials are organic polymers that contain carbon and hydrogen. The oxidation of these plastics in air to farm carbon dioxide and water is a spontaneous process; however, plastic materials tend to persist in the environment. Explain.
How does the second law of thermodynamics explain a spontaneous change in a system that becomes more ordered when that process is exothermic?
