(a)
Interpretation:
From the given reaction, the reaction which has larger
Concept introduction:
Entropy: it is a measure of the freedom of motion in a system. Restricting the freedom of motion of a molecule depresses its entropy.

- Q7. Some spontaneous reactions take 20 million years for half of the reactants to be converted into products while other reactions take 10 seconds. What is the basis for this difference in rate? A. Reactions take longer the closer their ΔG is to zero. B. The rate is dependent upon the concentration of substrate molecules. C. Reactions where substrate molecules can more readily reach the transition state occur faster. D. The rate of the reaction is dependent upon a supply of energy - thus coupled reactions that utilize ATP are the fastest.arrow_forwardWhat is the free energy change for the reaction below? 2VO2+(aq) + 4H+(aq) + Ni(s) ® 2VO2+(aq) + 2H2O(l) + Ni(s) E� = 1.23V 118.68 kJ 237.35 kJ -237.35 kJ -118.68 kJarrow_forwardConsider the balanced reaction: 2Cr3+(aq)+3PbO2(s)+6H2O(l)→2CrO42-(aq)+3Pb2+(aq)+4H3O+ (aq) d.How many valence electrons are in the CrO42- ion? e.
