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?
Appendix J lists standard molar entropies S, not standard entropies of formation rS. Why is this possible forentropy but not for internal energy, enthalpy, or Gibbsfree energy?
The synthesis of glucose directly from CO2 and H2O and the synthesis of proteins directly from amino acids are both non-spontaneous processes under standard conditions. Yet it is necessary for these to occur for life to exist. In light of the second law of thermodynamics, how can life exist?
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 the statement No process is 100 efficient is not the best statement of the second law of thermodynamics.
Calculate the entropy change for the vaporization of liquid methane and liquid hexane using the following data. Boilling point (1atm) Hvap Methane 112K 8.20 KJ/mol Hexane 342K 28.9 KJ/mol Compare the molar volume of gaseous methane at 112 K with that of gaseous hexane at 342 K. How do the differences in molar volume affect the values of Svap for these liquids?
Under what conditions is the entropy of a substance equal to zero?
Explain why absolute entropies can be measured.
10.69 If a sample of air were separated into nitrogen and oxygen molecules (ignoring other gases present), what would be the sign of for this process? Explain your answer. The next four questions relate to the following paragraph [Frank L. Lambert, Journal of Chemical Education, 76(10), 1999, 1385]. "The movement of macro objects from one location to another by an external agent involves no change in the objects' physical (thermodynamic) entropy. The agent of movement undergoes a thermodynamic entropy increase in the process."
