b) HCl(g) and HCl(aq)
c) CH4(g) and CH3CH2CH2CH3(g)
2)
a) Calculate the values of DeltaH° and DeltaS° for the following reaction at 25°C.
b) Use the values from a to calculate DeltaG° for the following reaction at 25°C.
c) Explain fully whether this reaction spontaneous or non-spontaneous at 25°C?
2 CH3OH(g) + H2(g) -> C2H6(g) + 2 H2O(g) @ 25.0°C
3)
a) Use thermodynamics to prove that the reaction shown below is non-spontaneous at room temperature (25 °C).
b) Calculate the temperature at which the reaction would just begin to become spontaneous.
MgCl2(s) + H2O(l) -> MgO(s) + 2 HCl(g)
5) Commercials make the claim that "a diamond is forever." Use thermodynamics to either prove or disprove this claim by calculating:
a) the entropy change.
b) the free energy change for the reaction below, and
c) by comparing DeltaGf° for graphite and diamond.
