Evaluate the validity of the following statement:
Spontaneous processes are ones that occur quickly and have a low activation energy.
You are a chemical engineer working in a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant.You’ve been tasked with scaling up the synthesis of a potential drug candidate.From previous studies, you know the following information about reaction takingplace:ΔHoreaction = -112.2kJΔS = -15.26JK-1mol-1ΔG = -18.81kJ
Discuss the meaning of each term/value and what this tells you aboutthe nature of the reaction
Use the reaction for the formation of NH3 from its elements N2(g) and H2(g) . This reaction has the following thermodynamic data:
ΔfHo (NH3) = - 45.9 kJ/mol and ΔfSo (NH3) = - 99.1 J/mol*K at 298 K
a) Write a balanced equation (whole number ratios) for this process and write out the expression for the reaction quotient Q using partial pressures.
b) Without doing any calculations, explain how the progression of the reaction will change (more reactants or more products) with respect to 1) increasing temperature, and 2) increasing pressure.
c) Calculate the equilibrium constant K at 298 K
d) Assuming that : ΔfHo is independent of temperature, calculate K at - 78o C
