(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Diamonds spontaneously turn into graphite or not have to be determined using the given information.

Concept Introduction:

Free energy change (ΔG): Change in the free energy takes place while reactants convert to product.

Spontaneous reactions releases the free energy and has ΔG<0 (exergonic)

Nonspontaneous reactions absorbs the free energy and has ΔG>0 (endergonic)

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason, why the conversion of diamonds into graphite takes thousands of years has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Free energy change (ΔG): Change in the free energy takes place while reactants convert to product.

Spontaneous reactions releases the free energy and has ΔG<0 (exergonic)

Nonspontaneous reactions absorbs the free energy and has ΔG>0 (endergonic)

Activation energy: It is defined as the minimum energy required by the reacting species in order to undergo chemical reaction. Activation energy can be represented as Ea. The unit of activation energy is kJ/mol

The value of delta g for the conversion of 3-phosphoglycerate to 2-phosphoglycerate (2PG) is +4.40 kJ/mol. If the concentration of 3-phosphoglycerate at equilibrium is 2.05 mM, what is the concentration of 2 phosphoglycerate? Assume the temperature of 250 celsius
Given the equation below, determine which statement is incorrect. 4C(s) + 6H2(g) + O2(g) → 2C2H5OH(1) AH°=555.4 kJ A) If the equation above is multiplied by two, AH° = - 1110.8 kJ B) For every 0.5 mol of O2, AH° = -277.7 kJ If the state of ethanol changes from the liquid state to the gas state, the value for AH° no loner applies. D) The value of 571.1 kJ applies to one mole of liquid ethanol. E) If the equation above is reversed, AH° = + 555.4 kJ
(1) Label the following statements as true or false and briefly explain your answer: (a) A spontaneous process always happens very quickly. (b) A spontaneous process can occur with a large decrease in entropy. (2) Consider a reaction with DH = 3.6 kcal/mole and DS = 11.9 cal/(mol*K). Is the reaction spontaneous (a) @ 10 °C and (b) @ 80 °C? Show your work. (3) Calculate the DG for the reaction A + B C+ D at 25 °C when the equilibrium concentrations are [A] = 10 mM, [B] = 15 mM, [C] = 3 mM, and [D] = 5 mM. What is the DG for this reaction? Is the reaction exergonic or endergonic under standard conditions? Show your work. (4) Using a chemical drawing program (e.g. ChemSketch or Marvin Sketch), please illustrate an example of 2 reducing and 2 non-reducing sugars. Be sure to indicate the REDUCING END of the 2 reducing sugars (NOTE: most programs include templates with the hexoses and pentoses pre-drawn, feel free to use these templates). (5) There are several qualitative chemical tests…
