Chemistry: An Atoms First Approach
- One statement of the second law of thermodynamics is that heat cannot be turned completely into work. Another is that the entropy of the universe always increases. How are these two statements related?arrow_forwardAt 298 K, the standard enthalpies of formation for C2H2(g) and C6H6(l) are 227 kJ/mol and 49 kJ/mol, respectively. a. Calculate H for C6H6(l)3C2H2(g) b. Both acetylene (C2H2) and benzene (C6H6) can be used as fuels. Which compound would liberate more energy per gram when combusted in air?arrow_forwardThermodynamics provides a way to interpret everyday occurrences. If you live in northern climates, one common experience is that during early winter, snow falls but then melts when it hits the ground. Both the formation and the melting happen spontaneously. How can thermodynamics explain both of these seemingly opposed events?arrow_forward
- When vapors from hydrochloric acid and aqueous ammonia come in contact, they react, producing a white cloud of solid NH4C1 (Figure 18.9). HCI(g) + NH3(g) NH4Cl(s) Defining the reactants and products as the system under study: (a) Predict whether S(system), S(surroundings), S(universe), rH, and rG (at 298 K) are greater than zero, equal to zero, or less than zero; and explain your prediction. Verify your predictions by calculating values for each of these quantities. (b) Calculate the value of Kp for this reaction at 298 K.arrow_forwardCoal is used as a fuel in some electric-generating plants. Coal is a complex material, but for simplicity we may consider it to be a form of carbon. The energy that can be derived from a fuel is sometimes compared with the enthalpy of the combustion reaction: C(s)+O2(g)CO2(g) Calculate the standard enthalpy change for this reaction at 25C. Actually, only a fraction of the heat from this reaction is available to produce electric energy. In electric generating plants, this reaction is used to generate heat for a steam engine, which turns the generator. Basically the steam engine is a type of heat engine in which steam enters the engine at high temperature (Th), work is done, and the steam then exits at a lower temperature (Tl). The maximum fraction, f, of heat available to produce useful energy depends on the difference between these temperatures (expressed in kelvins), f = (Th Tl)/Th. What is the maximum heat energy available for useful work from the combustion of 1.00 mol of C(s) to CO2(g)? (Assume the value of H calculated at 25C for the heat obtained in the generator.) It is possible to consider more efficient ways to obtain useful energy from a fuel. For example, methane can be burned in a fuel cell to generate electricity directly. The maximum useful energy obtained in these cases is the maximum work, which equals the free-energy change. Calculate the standard free-energy change for the combustion of 1.00 mol of C(s) to CO2(g). Compare this value with the maximum obtained with the heat engine described here.arrow_forwardThe decomposition of ozone, O3, to oxygen, O2, is an exothermic reaction. What is the sign of q?

Both forms contain P4 molecules, but the molecules are packed together in different ways. The form is always obtained when the liquid freezes. However, below 76.9C, the form spontaneously converts to the form: P4(s,)P4(s,) a. Predict the signs of H and S for this process. b.
