Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 98AE

How is this consistentwith the second law ofthermodynamics? In terms of the second law, which requiresthe least work: cleaning the environmentafter ithas been contaminated or trying to prevent the contaminationbefore it occurs? Explain.

- Regarding the chemical compound Ethanol and how Ethanol combustion is exothermic and releases heat, make quantitative/qualitative comparisons of the compound and/or the related reaction as its use as a biofuel. These comparisons can be to different compounds/reactions or to the same compound/reaction at a different condition. The following comparisons must be included: Difference in state—How does the compound’s use change in a different physical state or when mixed with other compounds at different concentrations? Difference in the reactivity of the compound with the reactivity of a similar compound—Does more or less reactivity change the way in which it is used? Change in the heat of reaction—Discuss the effects of changing the reaction temperature; for example, would the change make it unsafe, too slow, unstable, etc.?
