Standard Gibb's free energy equation summarizes four thermodynamic properties: AG, AH, AS", and T. This equation is very important to predict the spontaneity of a process. On your scratch paper, write out four different situations that favor a spontaneous forward reaction. [You can use the "Kid @ Beach" analogy.

Without doing any calculations, predict the sign of rS for the following reaction: Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g) (a) rS 0 (b) rS = 0 (c) rS 0
What types of experiments can be carried out to determine whether a reaction is spontaneous? Does spontaneity have any relationship to the final equilibrium position of a reaction? Explain.
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?
Consider the corrosion of copper at 30°C using the overall reaction: Cu(s) + 0.5 O2(g) + 2 H3O+(aq) → Cu2+(aq) + 3 H2O(l) If the partial pressure of oxygen is 0.88 bar, and the concentration of Cu2+(aq) is 5.1 M, at what pH does the reaction become spontaneous?
Consider the corrosion of copper at 25 C using the overall reactionCu(s) + 0.5 O2(g) + 2 H3O+(aq) → Cu2+(aq) + 3 H2O(l)If the partial pressure of oxygen is 0.49 bar, and the concentration of Cu2+(aq) is 1.3 M, at what pH does the reaction become spontaneous?
