- What is the change in entropy when 150 mL of cold (278 K) water is added to 150 mL of near-boiling (368 K) water? Ignore any potential heat loss to the surroundings; only consider the water. For water, Cp = 75.3 J K-1 mol-1.arrow_forwardA reaction at 23°C has ∆G = 1 kJ mol–¹. Why might this reaction become spontaneous at 37°C?arrow_forwardWhat mass of gallium oxide, Ga2O3, can be prepared from 29.0 g of gallium metal? The equation for the reaction is 4Ga + 3O2 ⟶ 2Ga2 O3.arrow_forward
- Which of the following has the highest iodine content? Which of the following has the lowest melting point? Which of the following requires the fewest moles of hydrogen for complete hydrogenation? Which of these is likely to be solid at room temperature?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_forwardWhich of the following correctly explains why the vapor pressure of water has to be included in the calculations? Some of the liquid water evaporates into the gas, and increases the total pressure generated by the trapped gas. As the H2(g) is bubbled up the reaction solution, some of the H2(g) molecules are solubilized by water in the aqueous solution, effectively decreasing the measured pressure above. The pressure contributed by the H2(g) is greater than the measured total pressure because of the contribution of partial pressure of water vapor. The pressure exerted by the evolved H2(g) is reduced because of the co-presence of water vapor, thus Pwater vapor has to be added to Pdry gas. Overview of the experiment:arrow_forward
