- 7-45 (Chemical Connections 7C) A painkiller—for example, Tylenol—can be purchased in two forms, each containing the same amount of drug. One form is a solid coated pill, and the other is a capsule that contains tiny beads and has the same coat. Which medication will act faster?

If you crush another piece of marble and add it to the same solution at the same temperature, you will see vigorous gas formation, so much so that the solution appears to be boiling.

- . Hydrogen gas and chlorine gas in the presence of light react explosively to form hydrogen chloride H2(g)+Cl2(g)2HCl(g)The reaction is strongly exothermic.

Write a balanced chemical equation for the equilibrium reaction. Use bond enthalpies from Table 6.2 ( Sec. 6-6b) to estimate the enthalpy change for the reaction. Based on your answers to parts (a) and (b), which is more important in determining the position of this equilibrium, the entropy effect or the energy effect? In which direction will the equilibrium shift as the temperature increases above 200. °C? Explain. Suppose that the pressure were increased to triple its initial value. In which direction would the equilibrium shift? Why is the equilibrium not established at room temperature?arrow_forwardSilicon forms a series of compounds analogous to the al-kanes and having the general formula SinH2n+2. The first of these compounds is silane, SiH4, which is used in the electronics industry to produce thin ultrapure silicon films. SiH4(g) is somewhat difficult to work with because it is py-ropboric at room temperature—meaning that it bursts into flame spontaneously when exposed to air. (a) Write an equation for the combustion of SiH4(g). (The reaction is analogous to hydrocarbon combustion, and SiO2 is a solid under standard conditions. Assume the water produced will be a gas.) (b) Use the data from Appendix E to calculate ? for this reaction. (c) Calculate G and show that the reaction is spontaneous at 25°C. (d) Compare G for this reaction to the combustion of methane. (See the previous problem.) Are the reactions in these two exercises enthalpy or entropy driven? Explain.arrow_forward

- Hydrogen sulfide is a pollutant found in natural gas. Following its removal, it is convened to sulfur by the reaction 2H2S(g)+SO2(g)38S8(s,rhombic)+2H2O(l). What is the equilibrium constant for this reaction? Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?arrow_forwardWhy are compounds such as sodium chloride usually not given Ksp values?arrow_forwardMonochloroethane (C2H5Cl) can be produced by the direct reaction of ethane gas (C2H6) with chlorine gas or by the reaction of ethylene gas (C2H4) with hydrogen chloride gas. The second reaction gives almost a 100% yield of pure C2H5Cl at a rapid rate without catalysis. The first method requires light as an energy source or the reaction would not occur. Yet G for the first reaction is considerably more negative than G for the second reaction. Explain how this can be so.arrow_forward
