1. Predict the sign of ΔSrxn (positive or negative) for the following reactions:
a. 2 Mg (s) + O2 (g) → 2 MgO (s) ΔS__-__
b. C6H12O6(s) J 2C2H5OH(l) + 2CO2(g) ΔS__+__
c. 2NH3(g) + CO2(g) J H2O(l) + NH2CONH2(aq) ΔS___-__
d. Cu(s) (100 C) J Cu(s) (25 C)
o o
ΔS__-_
2. Which two variables can indicate if a reaction is spontaneous or not? ____ΔG and ΔStot__
4. Which combination of ΔH and ΔS for a reaction is not spontaneous at low temperatures and becomes
spontaneous at higher temperatures? Answer: ΔH _positive_ and ΔS _positive
6. Calculate the temperature at which this reaction changes from being spontaneous to non spontaneous: Mg(s)
+ O2(g) ' MgO(s). Is the reaction spontaneous above or below this temperature? (Hint – balance the rxn
and use data from Appendix B)
7. Calculate ΔGorxn for this reaction: 2 CH3OH (l) + 3 O2 (g) → 2 CO2 (g) + 4 H2O (l)
Given: ΔHfo CH3OH (l) = -238.6 kJ/mol ΔHfo H2O (l) = -285.83 kJ/mol
o
S CH3OH (l) = 126.8 J/molK ΔHfo CO2 (g) = -393.5 kJ/mol
So O2 (g) = 205.0 J/molK So CO2 (g) = 213.6 J/molK
o
S H2O (l) = 69.91 J/molK (only use this given data for your solution)
