- Indicate whether the following processes are spontaneous or nonspontaneous. (a) Liquid water freezing at a temperature below its freezing point (b) Liquid water freezing at a temperature above its freezing point (c) The combustion of gasoline (d) A ball thrown into the air (e) A raindrop falling to the ground (f) Iron rusting in a moist atmospherearrow_forwardWhat is the third law of thermodynamics? What are standard entropy values, S, and how are these S values (listed in Appendix 4) used to calculate S for a reaction? How would you use Hesss law to calculate S for a reaction? What does the superscript indicate? Predicting the sign of S for a reaction is an important skill to master. For a gas-phase reaction, what do you concentrate on to predict the sign of S? For a phase change, what do you concentrate on to predict the sign of S? That is, how are Ssolid, Sliquid, and Sgas related to one another? When a solute dissolves in water, what is usually the sign of S for this process?arrow_forwardThe free energy for a reaction decreases as temperature increases. Explain how this observation is used to determine the sign of either H or S.arrow_forward
- At what temperatures will the following processes be spontaneous? a. H = 18 kJ and S = 60. J/K b. H = +18 kJ and S = + 60. J/K c. H = +18 kJ and S = 60. J/K d. H = 18 kJ and S = +60. J/Karrow_forwardFor the reaction at 298 K, 2NO2(g)N2O4(g) the values of H and S are 58.03 kJ and 176.6 J/K, respectively. What is the value of G at 298 K? Assuming that H and S do not depend on temperature, at what temperature is G = 0? Is G negative above or below this temperature?arrow_forwardThe decomposition of diamond to graphite [C(diamond) C(graphite)] is thermodynamically favored, but occurs slowly at room temperature. a. Use fG values from Appendix L to calculate rG and Keq for the reaction under standard conditions and 298.15 K. b. Use fH and S values from Appendix L to estimate rG and Keq for the reaction at 1000 K. Assume that enthalpy and entropy values are valid at these temperatures. Does heating shift the equilibrium toward the formation of diamond or graphite? c. Why is the formation of diamond favored at high pressures? d. The phase diagram shows that diamond is thermodynamically favored over graphite at 20,000 atmospheres pressure (about 2 GPa) at room temperature. Why is this conversion actually done at much higher temperatures and pressures?arrow_forward
- Solid NH4NO3 is placed in a beaker containing water at 25 C. When the solid has completely dissolved, the temperature of the solution is 23.5 C. (a) Was the process exothermic or endothermic? (b) Was the process spontaneous? (c) Did the entropy of the system increase? (d) Did the entropy of the universe increase?arrow_forwardConsider the reaction of 2 mol H2(g) at 25C and 1 atm with 1 mol O2(g) at the same temperature and pressure to produce liquid water at these conditions. If this reaction is run in a controlled way to generate work, what is the maximum useful work that can be obtained? How much entropy is produced in this case?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
- Given the values of H and S, which of the following changes will be spontaneous at constant T and p? a. H = + 25 kJ, S = + 5.0 J/K, T = 300. K b. H = + 25 kJ, S = + 100. J/K, T = 300. K c. H = 10. kJ, S = + 5.0 J/K, T= 298 K d. H = 10.kJ, S =40.J/K, T = 200.Karrow_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_forwardFor the reaction NO(g)+NO2(g)N2O3(g) , use tabulated thermodynamic data to calculate H and S. Then use those values to answer the following questions. (a) Is this reaction spontaneous at 25°C? Explain your answer. (b) If the reaction is not spontaneous at 25°C, will it become spontaneous at higher temperatures or lower temperatures? (c) To show that your prediction is accurate, choose a temperature that corresponds to your prediction in part (b) and calculate G . (Assume that both enthalpy and entropy are independent of temperature.)arrow_forward
