(a)
Interpretation:
Diamonds spontaneously turn into graphite or not have to be determined using the given information.
Concept Introduction:
Free energy change
Spontaneous reactions releases the free energy and has
Nonspontaneous reactions absorbs the free energy and has
(b)
Interpretation:
The reason, why the conversion of diamonds into graphite takes thousands of years has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:

- How many grams of glucose (C6H2O6 molecular mass =180daltons) would be present in one liter of a 1M (molar) solution of glucose?arrow_forwardIf the phosphorus atom in 3-phosphoglycerate is radioactively labeled, where will the label be when the reaction that forms 2-phosphoglycerate is over?arrow_forwardFor the reaction A → B at 298 K, the change in enthalpy is −7 kJ · mol−1and the change in entropy is −25 J · K−1 · mol−1. Is the reaction spontaneous? If not, should the temperature be increased or decreased to make the reaction spontaneous?arrow_forward
- A reaction at 23°C has ∆G = 1 kJ mol–¹. Why might this reaction become spontaneous at 37°C?arrow_forwardIn Gibbs free energy, what does the delta G signify?arrow_forwardCan I use 0.225%KCl to replace 0.450%NaCl with a patient that has a high Na level. What makes it possible to use potassium chloride instead of NaCl. Because of what properties is this possible? Explainarrow_forward
- To form S²⁻ ions from gaseous sulfur atoms requires 214 kJ/mol, but these ions exist in solids such as K₂S. Explainarrow_forwardFerrous sulfate is one dietary supplement used to treat iron-deficiency anemia. What are the molecular formula and molecular mass of this compound? howmany milligrams of iron are in 250 mg of ferrous sulfate?arrow_forwardConsider the following process: NaCl(s) water−→−−water→ Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq); ΔH = +4.2 kJ/mol Under what conditions (temperature) would you expect this process to be spontaneous? Select a relatively high temperature and a relatively low temperature, calculate (estimate) the relative values of ΔG to support your conclusion. The entropy increases in this process Please insert an image of your workarrow_forward
