Exercises 6

1.) Which substance in each pair has the higher molar entropy?
a) 1 mol CO2 at 25° and 1 bar or 1mol CO2 at 25°C and 3 bar
b) 1 mol He at 25°C in a 20 L container or 1 mol He at 100°C in a 20 L container
c) Br2(l) or Br2(g)
Please explain!

2.) Without performing any calculations, state whether the entropy of the system
increases or decreases during each of the processes:
a) N2(g) + 2 O2(g)  2 NO2(g)
b) sublimation of dry ice: CO2(s)  CO2(g)
c) cooling of water from 50°C to 4°C

3.) Assuming that the heat capacity of an ideal gas is constant with temperature,
calculate the entropy change associated with raising temperature of 1 mol
monatomic ideal gas reversably from 55,7°C to 135,4°C at
a) constant pressure
b) constant volume

4.) A human body generates heat at the rate of about 100 W.


a) At what rate does your body heat generate entropy in your surroundings, taken
at 20°C?
b) How much entropy do you generate each day?
c) Would the entropy generated be gretater or less if you were in in a room kept at
30°C?
Please explain!

5.) a) Why are so many exothermic reactions spontaneous?


b) Explain how an endothermic reaction can be spontaneous!

6.) Calculate the standard free energy of each of the following reactions at 25°C.
Comment on the spontaneity of each reaction at 25°C.
a) 2 SO2(g) + O2(g)  2 SO3(g)
b) CaCO3(s)  CaO(s) + CO2(g)
c) 2C8H18(l) + 25 O2(g)  16 CO2(g) + 18 H2O(l)

7.) Acetic acid CH3COOH could be produced from


a) the reaction of methanol with carbonmonoxid
b) oxidation of ethanol
c) the reaction of carbondioxid with methan

analysis of the three possibilities and decide which you expect to be the easiest to
accomplish.
