Name________________________

 

Use the thermodynamics table in your book to look up any enthalpy, entropy or free energy values needed.

1. Predict the sign of the entropy change for the following reaction:

Nitrogen gas reacts Hydrogen gas to produce ammonia gas.

 

2. Given the following data, calculate the free energy of the reaction and state if it is spontaneous or non spontaneous.

D H= +16kJ/mol, D S = 50J/K, T= 600K

 

3. The heat of fusion for actinium is 10.50kJ/mol. The entropy of fusion is 10.6 J/mol K. Calculate the melting point of actinium. (Hint) the melt point is an equilibrium between the solid and liquid phase, Therefore D G = ??????

 

4. Calculate D H for the following reaction at 25°C: D Hf for FeCl3 = -400kJ/mol

6Cl2(g) + 2Fe2O3 ---> 4FeCl3 + 3O2(g)

5. Calculate D S for the reaction in question #4

 

6. Using the answers from problem #4 and #5, calculate the free energy of the reaction.

 

7. Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction in question #4

 

8. Given the following reactions

N2 + 2O2 ---> 2NO2 D G = -85kJ

2NO + O2 ---> 2NO2 D G = -60kJ

Calculate D G for N2 + O2---> 2NO

 

9. Given Kb for ammonia at 298K is 8.5x10-6 calculate D G° for the following reaction:

NH3(g) + H2O(l) <--> NH4+(aq) + OH-(aq)

 

9b . What is the value of D G at equilibrium?

9c, What is the value of D G when [NH3] = 0.20 M, [NH4+] = 0.20M and [OH-] =0.10M

 

The following reaction is one that contributes significantly to the formation of photochemical smog.

2NO + O2 --> 2NO2 D H = -114.1 kJ, D S° = -146.5J/K 

10a. Calculate the heat released when 85.1 g of NO2 is produced

10b. For the reaction at 25°C, the value of the standard free energy change, D G°, is -70.4kJ. Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant, Kc, for the reaction at 25°C.

10c. Indicate whether the value of D G° would become more negative, less negative, or remain unchanged as the temperature is increased. Justify your answer.

10d. Give the standard molar entropy, S° for NO = 210.8J/mol K and NO2 = 240.1 J/mol K calculate S° for O2 at 25°C

(a) increase the temp. (b) decrease the temp. (c) no temp will make the reaction spont.

(c) the reaction is spont. at all temp.
