Consider the following reaction at 25.0°C:
The values of ∆H° and ∆S° are −58.03 kJ/mol and −176.6 J/K · mol, respectively. Calculate the value of K at 25.0°C. Assuming ∆H° and ∆S° are temperature independent, estimate the value of K at 100.0°C.

- Which 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_forwardDiethyl ether, (C2H5)2O, was once used as an anesthetic. Calculate the entropy change, rS, for the vaporization of ether if its heat of vaporization is 26.0 kJ/mol at the boiling point of 35.0 C.arrow_forwardIndicate which substance in the given pairs has the higher entropy value. Explain your choices.. (a) C2H5OH(l) or C3H7OH(l). (b) C2H5OH(l) or C2H5OH(g). (c) 2H(g) or H(g)arrow_forward
- Cells use the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate, abbreviated as ATP, as a source of energy. Symbolically, this reaction can be written as ATP(aq)+H2O(l)ADP(aq)+H2PO4(aq) where ADP represents adenosine diphosphate. For this reaction, G =30.5 kJ/mol. a. Calculate K at 25C. b. If all the free energy from the metabolism of glucose C6H12O6(s)+6O2(g)6CO2(g)+6H2O(l) goes into forming ATP from ADP, how many ATP molecules can be produced for every molecule of glucose?arrow_forwardExplain why each of the following statements is incorrect. (a) Entropy increases in all spontaneous reactions. (b) Reactions with a negative free energy change (rG 0) are product-favored and occur with rapid transformation of reactants to products. (c) All spontaneous processes are exothermic. (d) Endothermic processes are never spontaneous.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_forward
- What is entropy? Why is entropy important?arrow_forwardIdentify each of the processes listed as spontaneous or nons-pontaneous. For each nonspontaneous process, describe the corresponding spontaneous process in the opposite direction. (a) A group of cheerleaders builds a human pyramid. (b) Table salt dissolves in water. (c) A cup of cold coffee in a room becomes steaming hot. (d) Water molecules in the air are converted to hydrogen and oxygen gases. (e) A person peels an orange, and you smell it from across the room.arrow_forwardAt room temperature, the entropy of the halogens increases from I2 to Br2 to Cl2. Explain.arrow_forward
- 10.104 (a) When a chemical bond forms, what happens to the entropy of the system? (b) Thermodynamically, what allows any bond formation to occur? (c) What do your answers to parts (a) and (b) suggest must be true about the formation of chemical bonds for the octet rule to hold?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_forwardFor each pair of items, tell which has the higher entropy and explain why. (a) Item 1, a sample of solid CO2 at -78°C, or item 2, CO2 vapor at 0°C (b) Item I, solid sugar, or item 2, the same sugar dissolved in a cup of tea (c) Item 1, a 100-mL sample of pure water and a 100-mL sample of pure alcohol, or item 2, the same samples of water and alcohol after they have been poured together and stirredarrow_forward
