For which reaction will ΔS be positive? Group of answer choices N2O4(g) ⟶ 2 NO2(g) 2 H2(g) + O2(g) ⟶2 H2O(g) 3 NO(g) ⟶NO2(g) + N2O(g) 2 SO2(g) + O2(g) ⟶2 SO3(g)

Decide whether each of the following statements is true or false. If false, rewrite it to make it true. (a) The entropy of a substance increases on going from the liquid to the vapor state at any temperature. (b) An exothermic reaction will always be spontaneous. (c) Reactions with a positive rH and a positive rS can never be product-favored. (d) If rG for a reaction is negative, the reaction will have an equilibrium constant greater than 1.

9.83 A student performing a calorimetry experiment combined 100.0 mL of 0.50 M HCl and 100.0 mL of 0.50 M NaOH in a coffee cup calorimeter. Both solutions were initially at 20.0°C, but when the two were mixed, the temperature rose to 23.2°C. (a) Suppose the experiment is repeated in the same calorimeter but this time using 200 mL of 0.50 M HCl and 200.0 mL of 0.50 M NaOH. Will the T observed he greater than, less than, or equal to that in the first experiment, and why? (b) Suppose that the experiment is repeated once again in the same calorimeter, this time using 100 mL of 1.00 M HCl and 100.0 mL of 1.00 M NaOH. Will the T observed he greater than, less than, or equal to that in the first experiment, and why?

Some water is placed in a coffee-cup calorimeter. When 1.0 g of an ionic solid is added, the temperature of the solution increases from 21.5C to 24.2C as the solid dissolves. For the dissolving process, what are the signs for Ssys, Ssurr, and Suniv?

For each process, predict whether entropy increases or decreases, and explain how you arrived at your prediction. 2 CO2(g) → 2 CO(g) + O2(g) NaCl(s) → NaCl(aq) MgCO3(s) → MgO(s) + CO2(g)

Indicate whether the following processes are spontaneous or nonspontaneous. (a) Liquid water freezing at a temperature below its freezing point (b) Liquid water freezing at a temperature above its freezing point (c) The combustion of gasoline (d) A ball thrown into the air (e) A raindrop falling to the ground (f) Iron rusting in a moist atmosphere

Predict the sign of S and then calculate S for each of the following reactions. a. H2(g) + 12O2(g) H2O(l) b. 2CH3OH(g) + 3O2(g) 2CO2(g) + 4H2O(g) c. HCl(g) H+(aq) + Cl (aq)

What determines Ssurr for a process? To calculate Ssurr at constant pressure and temperature, we use the following equation: Ssurr = H/T. Why does a minus sign appear in the equation, and why is Ssurr inversely proportional to temperature?

Solid NH4NO3 is placed in a beaker containing water at 25 C. When the solid has completely dissolved, the temperature of the solution is 23.5 C. (a) Was the process exothermic or endothermic? (b) Was the process spontaneous? (c) Did the entropy of the system increase? (d) Did the entropy of the universe increase?

Determine whether each of the following statements is true or false. (a) An exothermic reaction is spontaneous. (b) When G° is positive, the reaction cannot occur under any conditions. (c) S° is positive for a reaction in which there is an increase in the number of moles. d) If H° and S° are both negative, G° will be negative.
