- The standard molar entropy of iodine vapor, I2(g), is 260.7 J Kl mol-1 and the standard molar enthalpy of formation is 62.4 kJ/mol. a) Calculate the entropy change for vaporization of 1 mol of solid iodine (use data from Table 16.1 or Appendix J). b) Calculate the enthalpy change for sublimation of iodine. c) Assuming that rSdoes not change with temperature, estimate the temperature at which iodine would sublime (change directly from solid to gas).arrow_forwardDetermine the entropy change for the combustion of gaseous propane, C3H8, under the standard conditions to give gaseous carbon dioxide and water.arrow_forwardThe standard molar entropy of methanol vapor, CH3OH(g), is 239.8 J K1 mol-1. (a) Calculate the entropy change for the vaporization of 1 mol methanol (use data from Table 16.1 or Appendix J). (b) Calculate the enthalpy of vaporization of methanol, assuming that rS doesnt depend on temperature and taking the boiling point of methanol to be 64.6C.arrow_forward
- Ethanethiol (C2H5SH; also called ethyl mercaptan) is commonly added to natural gas to provide the rotten egg smell of a gas leak. The boiling point of ethanethiol is 35C and its heat of vaporization is 27.5 kJ/mol. What is the entropy of vaporization for this substance?arrow_forwardFor one day, keep a log of all the activities you undertake that consume Gibbs free energy. Distinguish betweenGibbs free energy provided by nutrient metabolism andthat provided by other energy resources.arrow_forwardFor each process, tell whether the entropy change of the system is positive or negative. Water vapor (the system) deposits as ice crystals on a cold windowpane. A can of carbonated beverage loses its fizz. (Consider the beverage but not the can as the system. What happens to the entropy of the dissolved gas?) A glassblower heats glass (the system) to its softening temperature.arrow_forward
- What is the sign of the standard Gibbs free-energy change at low temperatures and at high temperatures for the combustion of acetaldehyde? CH3CHO(l)+52O2(g)2CO2+2H2O(l)arrow_forwardWhat is entropy? Why is entropy important?arrow_forwardFor each process, tell whether the entropy change of the system is positive or negative, (a) A glassblower heats glass (the system) to its softening temperature, (b) A teaspoon of sugar dissolves in a cup of coffee. (The system consists of both sugar and coffee.) (c) Calcium carbonate precipitates out of water in a cave to form stalactites and stalagmites. (Consider only the calcium carbonate to be the system.)arrow_forward

(c) Calcium carbonate precipitates out of water in a cave to form stalactites and stalagmites. (Consider only the calcium carbonate to be the system.)arrow_forwardCalculate the entropy change for the vaporization of liquid methane and liquid hexane using the following data. Boilling point (1atm) Hvap Methane 112K 8.20 KJ/mol Hexane 342K 28.9 KJ/mol Compare the molar volume of gaseous methane at 112 K with that of gaseous hexane at 342 K. How do the differences in molar volume affect the values of Svap for these liquids?arrow_forward
