B It must be negative so that the change in Gibbs free energy will be positive. It must be positive so that the change in Gibbs free energy will be negative. It must be negative so that the change in Gibbs free energy will be negative. D.

(The system consists of both sugar and coffee.) (c) Calcium carbonate precipitates out of water in a cave to form stalactites and stalagmites. (Consider only the calcium carbonate to be the system.)
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).
Explain why absolute entropies can be measured.
One statement of the second law of thermodynamics is that heat cannot be turned completely into work. Another is that the entropy of the universe always increases. How are these two statements related?
The first law of thermodynamics is sometimes stated You cant win and the second law is stated similarly as You cant even break even. Explain how these two statements can be considered apt though incomplete viewpoints for the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
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.
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?
