(a)
Interpretation:
A chemical equation for the given process is to be stated and it has to be classified as product favored or reactant favored.
Concept Introduction:
If a particular reaction is spontaneous then the reaction will proceed in the forward direction, this leads to a reaction which is product favored. If a reaction is non spontaneous, then the reaction will not proceed in the forward direction rather proceeds in backward direction, this lead to a reaction which is reactant favored.
(b)
Interpretation:
A chemical equation for the given process is to be stated and it has to be classified as product favored or reactant favored.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
A chemical equation for the given process is to be stated and it has to be classified as product favored or reactant favored.

Chemistry: The Molecular Science
- There are millions of organic compounds known, and new ones are being discovered or made at a rate of morethan 100,000 compounds per year. Organic compoundsburn readily in air at high temperatures to form carbondioxide and water. Several classes of organic compoundsare listed, with a simple example of each. Write a balanced chemical equation for the combustion in O2ofeach of these compounds, and then use the data inAppendix J to show that each reaction is product-favoredat room temperature. From these results, it is reasonable to hypothesize thatallorganic compounds are thermodynamically unstable inan oxygen atmosphere (that is, their room-temperaturereaction with O2(g) to form CO2(g) and H2O() isproduct-favored). If this hypothesis is true, how canorganic compounds exist on Earth?arrow_forwardDefine the standard enthalpy of formation. What are standard states for elements and for compounds? Using Hess's law, illustrate why the formula Hreaction=npHf(products)nfHf(reactants) works to calculate H for a reaction.arrow_forwardA pot of cold water is heated on a stove, and when the water boils, a fresh egg is placed in the water to cook. Describe the events that are occurring in terms of the zeroth law of thermodynamics.arrow_forward
- The combustion of methane can be represented as follows: a. Use the information given above to determine the value of H for the combustion of methane to form CO2(g) and 2H2O(l). b. What is Hf for an element in its standard state? Why is this? Use the figure above to support your answer. c. How does H for the reaction CO2(g) + 2H2O (1) CH4(g) + O2(g) compare to that of the combustion of methane? Why is this?arrow_forwardHow is the sign of q, heat, defined? How does it relate to the total energy of the system?arrow_forwardA 50-mL solution of a dilute AgNO3 solution is added to 100 mL of a base solution in a coffee-cup calorimeter. As Ag2O(s) precipitates, the temperature of the solution increases from 23.78 C to 25.19 C. Assuming that the mixture has the same specific heat as water and a mass of 150 g, calculate the heat q. Is the precipitation reaction exothermic or endothermic?arrow_forward
- A student performing a calorimetry experiment combined 100.0 ml. of 0.50 M HCI and 100.0 ml. of 0.50 M NaOH in a StyrofoamTM cup calorimeter. Both solutions were initially at 20.0 C, but when the two were mixed, the temperature rose to 23.2 C (a) Suppose the experiment is repeated in the same calorimeter but this time using 200 mL of 0.50 M HCl and 200.0 ml of 0.50 M NaOH. WIII the AT observed be greater than, less than, or equal to that in the first experiment, and why? (b) Suppose that the experiment is repeated once again in the same calorimeter, this time using 100 mL of 1.00 M HCI and 100.0 ml. of 1.00 M NaOH. Will the T observed be greater than, less than, or equal to that in the first experiment, and why?arrow_forward9.53 Using these reactions, find the standard enthalpy change for the formation of 1 mol of PhO(s) from lead metal and oxygen gas. PbO(s)+C(graphite)Pb(s)+CO(g) H = 106.8 kJ 2C(graphite)+O2(g)2CO(g) H= -221.0 kJ If 250 g of lead reacts with oxygen to form lead(II) oxide, what quantity of thermal energy (in kJ) is ahsorhed or evolved?arrow_forwardWhen one mol of KOH is neutralized by sulfuric acid, q=56 kJ. (This is called the heat of neutralization.) At 23.7C, 25.0 mL of 0.475 M H2SO4 is neutralized by 0.613 M KOH in a coffee-cup calorimeter. Assume that the specific heat of all solutions is 4.18J/gC, that the density of all solutions is 1.00 g/mL, and that volumes are additive. (a) How many mL of KOH is required to neutralize H2SO4? (b) What is the final temperature of the solution?arrow_forward
