Solution Summary

This solution helps answer various questions regarding energetics and thermodynamics. Concepts covered include: entropy, standard free energy, and substance stability.

Solution Preview

1) Which sample of sulfur at 25°C has the greatest entropy?

Since it is the lightest and thus will have the most random motion, S (answer D) should be the most correct. S8 would have the lowest entropy since it is most constrained by many bonds.

2) What is the standard free energy change for the following reaction at 25°C: C(diamond) ---> C(graphite)
