What is meant by the standard free energy of formation Gf of a substance?arrow_forwardIn muscle cells under the condition of vigorous exercise, glucose is converted to lactic acid (lactate),CH3CHOHCOOH, by the chemical reaction C6H12O6 2 CH3CHOHCOOHrG = 197 kJ/mol (a) If all of the Gibbs free energy from this reaction wereused to convert ADP to ATP, calculate how many molesof ATP could be produced per mole of glucose. (b) The actual reaction involves the production of 3 molATP per mole of glucose. Calculate the rG for thisoverall reaction. (c) Is the overall reaction in part (b) reactant-favored orproduct-favored?arrow_forwarda Calculate K1, at 25C for sulfurous acid: H2SO3(aq)H+(aq)+HSO3(aq) b Which thermodynamic factor is the most significant in accounting for the fact that sulfurous acid is a weak acid? Why?arrow_forward

(A) F–(g) --> F(g) + e– ; (B) Cl–(g) --> Cl(g) + e–; (C) Br–(g) --> Br(g) + e–; (D) I–(g) --> I(g) + e–;arrow_forwardCells use the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as a source of energy. The conversion of ATP to ADP has a standard free-energy change of -30.5 kJ>mol. If all the free energy from the metabolism of glucose, C6H12O61s2 + 6 O21g2 ¡ 6 CO21g2 + 6 H2O1l2 goes into the conversion of ADP to ATP, how many moles of ATP can be produced for each mole of glucose?arrow_forward1)State the First Law of Thermodynamics. 2)Fluorine (F2) and iodine (I2) are both Group 17 elements. Explain with reference to intermolecular forces, why fluorine is a gas and iodine is a solid at room temperature. 4)When 30 g of ammonium nitrate, (NH4NO3) was stirred into 10 cm3 of water, the temperature fell from 21 oC to 15 oC. 5)Calculate the total amount of energy (E) released in this experiment. Ignore the heat capacity of ammonium nitrate. Take the specific heat capacity of the water as 4.18 J g-1 ºC-1. Density of water is 1.00 gcm-3. 6)This amount of energy [answer to part (i)] was produced by 30 g of ammonium nitrate. Calculate the energy change per mole of ammonium nitrate.

Entropy changes cannot be measured with a calorimeter like enthalpy changes. 2. If the result upon calculation of entropy changes in the universe is a positive value, the process is reactant-favored. 3. If the change in free energy, ΔG is negative, the reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction.arrow_forward
