Interpretation:
The standard free energy change
Concept introduction:
Entropy is the measure of randomness in the system. Standard entropy change in a reaction is the difference in entropy of the products and reactants.
Where,
Standard entropy change in a reaction and entropy change in the system are same.
Enthalpy is the amount energy absorbed or released in a process.
The enthalpy change in a system
Where,
Free energy (Gibbs free energy) is the term that is used to explain the total energy content in a

- Consider the decomposition of red mercury(II) oxide under standard state conditions.. 2HgO(s,red)2Hg(l)+O2(g) (a) Is the decomposition spontaneous under standard state conditions? (b) Above what temperature does the reaction become spontaneous?arrow_forwardWhich contains greater entropy, a quantity of frozen benzene or the same quantity of liquid benzene at the same temperature? Explain in terms of the dispersal of energy in the substance.arrow_forwardThe combustion of acetylene, C2H2, is a spontaneous reaction given by the equation 2C2H2(g)+5O2(g)4CO2(g)+2H2O(l) As expected for a combustion, the reaction is exothermic. What is the sign of H? What do you expect for the sign of S? Explain the spontaneity of the reaction in terms of the enthalpy and entropy changes.arrow_forward
- Decide whether the following processes will be spontaneous, and why. The why can be general, not specific. a Ice melting at 5C b Ice melting at +5C c KBr(s) dissolving in water d An unplugged refrigerator getting cold e A leaf falling from a tree to the ground f The reaction Li(s)+12F2(g)LiF(s) g The reaction H2O(l)H2(g)+12O2(g)arrow_forwardFor the decomposition of formic acid, HCOOH(l)H2O(l)+CO(g) H = +29 kJ/mol at 25C. a Does the tendency of this reaction to proceed to a state of minimum energy favor the formation of water and carbon monoxide or formic acid? Explain. b Does the tendency of this reaction to proceed to a state of maximum entropy favor the formation of products or reactants? Explainarrow_forward9.96 Most first aid "cold packs" are based on the endothermic dissolution of ammonium nitrate in water: NH4NO3(s)NH4+(aq)+NO3(aq) H= 25.69 kJ A particular cold pack contains 50.0 g of NH4NO3 and 125.0 g of water. When the pack is squeezed, the NH4NO3dissolves in the water. If the pack and its contents are initially at 24.0°C, what is the lowest temperature that this bag could reach? (Assume that the ammonium nitrate solution has a specific heat of 4.25J g-l K-l, and that the heat capacity of the bag itself is small enough to be neglected.)arrow_forward
- Elemental boron, in the form of thin fibers, can be made by reducing a boron halide with H2. BCl3(g) + 3/2 H2(g) B(s) + 3HCl(g) Calculate H, S, and G at 25 C for this reaction. Is the reaction predicted to be product favored at equilibrium at 25 C? If so, is it enthalpy driven or entropy driven?arrow_forwardA reaction occurs in the left-to-right direction until it reaches equilibrium. Which of the following statements is/are completely correct for this reaction? Give some reasoning. A) At first, ΔSo of reaction > 0 but, when equilibrium is reached, ΔSo = 0. B) At first the reaction is exothermic and it continues until it is thermoneutral (ΔH = 0) C) ΔGo of reaction (which is a constant) remains negative throughout, else no reaction at all would occur. D) At first, the free energy, G > 0, but, when equilibrium is reached, G = 0.
