(a)
Interpretation: The given processes have to be classified into spontaneous and nonspontaneous.
Concept Introduction:
Any natural process or a
(b)
Interpretation: The given processes have to be classified into spontaneous and nonspontaneous.
Concept Introduction:
Any natural process or a chemical reaction taking place in a laboratory can be classified into two categories, spontaneous or nonspontaneous. Spontaneous process occurs by itself, without the influence of external energy. In spontaneous process the free energy of the system decreases and entropy of the system increases. Nonspontaneous process requires an external influence for initiation. In nonspontaneous process the free energy of the system increases but entropy of the system decreases.

- A process that is reactant-favored at equilibrium can never be spontaneous. This statement is (a) true (b) falsearrow_forwardCalculate the standard Gibbs free-energy change when SO3 forms from SO2 and O2 at 298 K. Why is sulfur trioxide an important substance to study? (Hint: What happens when it combines with water?)arrow_forwardExplain how the entropy of the universe increases when an aluminum metal can is made from aluminum ore. Thefirst step is to extract the ore, which is primarily a formof A12O3, from the ground. After it is purified by freeingit from oxides of silicon and iron, aluminum oxide ischanged to the metal by an input of electrical energy. 2Al2O3(s)electricalenergy4Al(s)+3O2(g)arrow_forward

- 10.0 mol PCl3(g), 20.0 mol Cl2(g), and 40.0 mol PCl5(g) are introduced in a previously evacuated 10.0-L vessel at 25.0oC. The KP for the reaction at this temperature is 1.47×10–7: PCl5(g) →← PCl3(g) + Cl2(g), KP= 1.47×10–7 What is the immediate Gibbs free energy change for the reaction? In what direction the reaction will spontaneously approach equilibrium? Enter your answer with correct units and significant figures, and check the correct box below: Reaction proceeds spontaneously forward towards equilibrium. Reaction is at equilibrium. Reaction proceeds spontaneously backward towards equilibrium.arrow_forward3..HClO3 + CaCO3 Is this reaction spontaneous? Why or why not?arrow_forwardAn aqueous solution of 49.60 ml of 0.370mol L-1 NaCN is added to 49.60 ml of 0.370 mol L-1 Zn(NO3)2 (aq) at 25°C. Determine the concentration (in mol L-1) of Zn(CN)42- in the solution once it reaches thermodynamic equilibrium at 25°C. Kf (Zn(CN)42-) = 2.1 X 1019arrow_forward
