In the thermodynamic definition of a spontaneous process, why is it important that the phrase “continuous intervention” be used rather than just “intervention?”
A 220-ft3 sample of gas at standard temperature and pressure is compressed into a cylinder, where it exerts pressure of 2000 psi. Calculate the work (in J) performed when this gas expands isothermally against an opposing pressure of 1.0 atm. (The amount of work that can be done is equivalent to the destructive force of about 1/4 lb of dynamite, giving you an idea of how potentially destructive compressed gas cylinders can be if improperly handled!)
Given that H f for HF(aq) is -320.1 kJ/mol and S for HF(aq) is 88.7 J/mol K, find Ka for HF at 25C.
What is the sign of the standard Gibbs free-energy change at low temperatures and at high temperatures for the explosive decomposition of TNT? Use your knowledge of TNT and the chemical equation, particularly the phases, to answer this question. (Thermodynamic data for TNT are not in Appendix G.) 2C7H5N3O6(s) 3N2(g) + 5H2O() + 7C(s) + 7CO(g)
Use data from Appendix D to calculate the standardentropy change at 25°C for the reaction CH3COOH(g)+NH3(g)CH3NH2(g)+CO2(g)+H2(g) Suppose that 1.00 mol each of solid acetamide, CH3CONH2(s), and water, H2O(l), react to give thesame products. Will the standard entropy change belarger or smaller than that calculated for the reactionin part (a)?
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.
In a spontaneous process, S(universe) is (a) 0 (b) = 0 (c) 0
Explain why the statement No process is 100 efficient is not the best statement of the second law of thermodynamics.
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?
Show by calculation, using Appendix 1, whether dissolving lead(II) chloride PbCl2(s)Pb2+(aq)+2Cl(aq) is spontaneous at 25C (a) when [ Pb2+ ]=1.0M;[ Cl ]=2.0M. (b) when [ Pb2+ ]=1.0105M;[ Cl ]=2.0105M.
Billions of pounds of acetic acid are made each year, much of it by the reaction of methanol with carbon monoxide. (AssumeT= 298 K.) CH3OH() + CO(g) CH3COOH() (a) By calculating the standard Gibbs free energy change, rG, for this reaction, show that it is product-favored. (b) Determine the standard Gibbs free energy change, rG,for the reaction of acetic acid with oxygen to form gaseous carbon dioxide and liquid water. (c) Based on this result, is acetic acid thermodynamicallystable compared with CO2(g) and H2O()? (d) Is acetic acid kinetically stable compared with CO2(g)and H2O()?
Is the reaction Si(s) + 2 H2(g) SiH4(g) spontaneous under standard conditions at 298.15 K? Answer this question by calculating S(system), S(surroundings), and S(universe). (Define reactants and products as the system.)
