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.
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.
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?
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 formation of hydrogen sulfide from the elements? H2(g)+18S8(s)H2S(g)
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!)
10.51 The combustion of acetylene was used in welder's torches for many years because it produces a very hot flame: C2H2(g)+52O2(g)2CO2(g)+H2O(g) H= -1255.5 kJ (a) Use data in Appendix E to calculate S for this reaction, (b) Calculate G and show that the reaction is spontaneous at 25°C. (c) Ls there any temperature range in which this reaction is not spontaneous? (d) Do you think you could use Equation 10.4 to calculate such a temperature range reliably? Explain your answer.

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.
Consider two processes: sublimation of I2(s) and melting of I2(s) (Note: the latter process can occur at the same temperature but somewhat higher pressure). I2(s)I2(g)I2(s)I2(l) Is S positive or negative in these processes? In which of the processes will the magnitude of the entropy change be greater?

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?
