Question:

Comment on the thermodynamic stability of NO(g) given (1/2)N2(g)+(1/2)O2(g)→NO(g);△rH=90KJMol(−1) NO(g)+(1/2)O2(g)→NO2(g):△rH=−74KJMol(−1)

Answer:

  1. The thermodynamic stability of NO(g) can be determined by looking at the values of the enthalpy change (ΔH) for the two reactions.

  2. The reaction (1/2)N2(g)+(1/2)O2(g)→NO(g) has a positive enthalpy change (ΔH=90kJ/mol), which indicates that the reaction is endergonic and thermodynamically unfavorable.

  3. The reaction NO(g)+(1/2)O2(g)→NO2(g) has a negative enthalpy change (ΔH=−74kJ/mol), which indicates that the reaction is exergonic and thermodynamically favorable.

  4. Therefore, NO(g) is thermodynamically unstable, as the formation of NO2(g) is more favorable than the formation of NO(g).

Question:

A reaction A+B→ C+D is found to have a positive entropy change. The reaction will be : A : possible at high temperature B : possible only at low temperature C : not possible at any temperature D : possible at any temperature

Answer:

A : possible at high temperature B : possible only at low temperature C : not possible at any temperature D : possible at any temperature

The reaction A+B→ C+D will be exothermic (i.e. it will release energy) and have a positive entropy change, since the reactants (A and B) will have higher entropy than the products (C and D). This means that the reaction will be favored at high temperatures, since the reactants (A and B) will be more stable at higher temperatures.

Question:

Calculate the enthalpy change on freezing of 1.0 mol of water at 10.0°C to ice at −10.0°C △fusH=6.03 KJ mol(−1) at 0°C Cp[H2O(1)]=75.3Jmol(−1)K(−1) Cp[H2O(s)]=36.8Jmol(−1)K(−1)

Answer:

Answer: Step 1: Calculate the enthalpy change of melting at 0°C: △fusH = 6.03 kJ mol-1 at 0°C

Step 2: Calculate the enthalpy change of heating 1.0 mol of water from 10°C to 0°C:

△H = Cp x m x ΔT

△H = 75.3J mol-1 K-1 x 1.0 mol x (10.0°C - 0°C)

△H = 753 J mol-1

Step 3: Calculate the enthalpy change of cooling 1.0 mol of water from 0°C to -10°C:

△H = Cp x m x ΔT

△H = 36.8J mol-1 K-1 x 1.0 mol x (0°C - (-10.0°C))

△H = 368 J mol-1

Step 4: Calculate the enthalpy change of freezing 1.0 mol of water at -10°C to ice at -10°C:

△fusH = 6.03 kJ mol-1 at 0°C

Step 5: Calculate the total enthalpy change on freezing of 1.0 mol of water at 10°C to ice at -10°C:

Total △H = △fusH + △H(heating) + △H(cooling)

Total △H = 6.03 kJ mol-1 + 753 J mol-1 + 368 J mol-1

Total △H = 6.15 kJ mol-1

Question:

For the reaction, 2Cl(g)→Cl2(g) what are the signs of △H and △S ?

Answer:

Answer:

For the reaction, 2Cl(g)→Cl2(g), the sign of △H is negative (exothermic) and the sign of △S is positive (entropy increases).

Question:

For the reaction at 298 K, 2A+B →C △ H = 400 KJ mol(−1) and △ S = 0.02 KJ K(−1) mol(−1) At what temperature will the reaction become spontaneous considering △ H and △ S to be constant over the temperature range?

Answer:

  1. Calculate the change in Gibbs Free Energy (△G) using the equation △G = △H - T△S

  2. Set △G = 0 and solve for T.

  3. The temperature at which the reaction will become spontaneous is T = △H/△S = 400 KJ mol(-1)/0.02 KJ K^(-1) mol(-1) = 20,000 K.

Question:

Calculate the entropy change in surrounding when 1.00 mol of H2O(l) is formed under standard condition △fH⊖=−286KJmol(−1).

Answer:

  1. Calculate the amount of heat released when 1.00 mol of H2O(l) is formed under standard condition.

Q = -286 kJ/mol

  1. Calculate the entropy change in surrounding using the equation:

ΔS = -Q/T

where T is the temperature at which the reaction occurs.

For standard conditions, T = 298 K.

Therefore, ΔS = -286 kJ/mol / 298 K = -0.96 kJ/K mol

Answer:

  1. Enthalpy of formation of a substance is defined as the change in enthalpy when one mole of a substance is formed from its constituent elements in their standard states.

  2. The enthalpy of combustion of methane, graphite and dihydrogen at 298K are −890.3 kJ mol(−1) and −285.8 kJ mol(−1) respectively.

  3. The enthalpy of formation of CH4(g) can be calculated using the following equation:

Enthalpy of formation of CH4(g) = Enthalpy of combustion of methane - Enthalpy of combustion of graphite - Enthalpy of combustion of dihydrogen

  1. Substituting the values in the equation:

Enthalpy of formation of CH4(g) = -890.3 kJ mol(−1) - (-285.8 kJ mol(−1)) - (-285.8 kJ mol(−1))

  1. Simplifying the equation:

Enthalpy of formation of CH4(g) = -78.8 kJ mol(−1)

Therefore, the correct answer is option A: −78.8 kJ mol(−1).

Question:

Calculate the enthalpy change for the process CCl4(g)→C(g)+4Cl(g) and calculate bond enthalpy of C-Cl in CCl4(g) ΔvapH(CCl4)=30.5 kJ mol(−1).
ΔfH⊖(CCl4)=−135.5 kJ mol(−1).
ΔaH(C)=715.0 kJ mol(−1).
where ΔaH is enthalpy of atomisation
ΔaH(Cl2)=242 kJ mol(−1).

Answer:

Step 1: Calculate the enthalpy change for the process

ΔH = ΔfH⊖(CCl4) - [ΔaH(C) + 4ΔaH(Cl2)]

ΔH = -135.5 kJ mol(-1) - [715.0 kJ mol(-1) + 4(242 kJ mol(-1))]

ΔH = -135.5 kJ mol(-1) - [1778 kJ mol(-1)]

ΔH = -1913.5 kJ mol(-1)

Step 2: Calculate bond enthalpy of C-Cl in CCl4(g)

Bond enthalpy of C-Cl = ΔvapH(CCl4) - 4ΔaH(Cl2)

Bond enthalpy of C-Cl = 30.5 kJ mol(-1) - 4(242 kJ mol(-1))

Bond enthalpy of C-Cl = -717 kJ mol(-1)

Question:

N2(g)+3H2(g)→2NH3(g): △rH⊖=−92.4 kJ mol(−1) What is the standard enthalpy of formation of NH3 gas?

Answer:

Step 1: The standard enthalpy of formation (ΔHf) is the heat change that occurs when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements in their standard states.

Step 2: The standard enthalpy of reaction (ΔrH⊖) is the heat change that occurs when a reaction occurs between the reactants and products in their standard states.

Step 3: The standard enthalpy of formation of NH3 gas can be calculated using the following equation: ΔHf(NH3) = -ΔrH⊖ + (2 x ΔHf(N2) + 3 x ΔHf(H2)).

Step 4: The standard enthalpy of formation of N2 and H2 gas is 0 since they are in their standard states.

Step 5: Substituting the values into the equation, we get: ΔHf(NH3) = -92.4 kJ mol(-1) + (2 x 0 + 3 x 0) = -92.4 kJ mol(-1).

Therefore, the standard enthalpy of formation of NH3 gas is -92.4 kJ mol(-1).

Question:

The enthalpies of all elements in their standard states are :
A : unity B : zero C : <0 D : different for each element

Answer:

  1. Enthalpy is a measure of the energy of a system.

  2. The enthalpy of an element in its standard state is a measure of the energy required to change the element from its standard state to a different state.

  3. The enthalpy of element A in its standard state is unity, meaning it requires no energy to change it from its standard state.

  4. The enthalpy of element B in its standard state is zero, meaning it requires no energy to change it from its standard state.

  5. The enthalpy of element C in its standard state is less than zero, meaning it requires energy to change it from its standard state.

  6. The enthalpy of element D in its standard state is different for each element, meaning the energy required to change it from its standard state will vary depending on the element.

Question:

For an isolated system △ U=0 what will be △S?

Answer:

Answer:

For an isolated system, △U=0, then the change in entropy (△S) can be calculated using the equation △S= △Q/T, where △Q is the heat exchange and T is the temperature of the system.

Question:

The enthalpies of all elements in their standard states are:

Answer:

  1. Determine the enthalpy of each element in its standard state.

Enthalpy is a measure of the amount of energy stored in a substance. The enthalpy of an element in its standard state is the amount of energy it takes to change the element from its standard state to a gas. Different elements have different enthalpies, and these values can be found in tables of thermodynamic data.

Question:

For an isolated system △ U=0 what will be △S?

Answer:

Answer: ΔS = 0.

The equation ΔU = 0 states that the total internal energy of an isolated system is constant, meaning that the energy of the system cannot change. Therefore, the entropy of the system must also remain constant, and ΔS = 0.
