Given the following skeletal reaction for the combustion of hydrogen to generate water and using tables of standard thermodynamic data:
2H2(g) + O2(g) ----> 2H2O(g)
(a) Determine the Ho, So, and Go for the above reaction at 298 Kelvin at 1 bar pressure.
(b) Justify and compare how a change (rise and drop) in temperature will affect how spontaneous the reaction will become. Also, at what temperature will the S of the universe equal zero for this reaction?
The relevant thermodynamic data, rounded to the nearest 10, are:
Quantity (Units) H2(g) O2(g) H2O(g)
fHO (kJ mol-1) 0 0 -240
SOm (J mol-1 K-1) 130 210 190
fGO (kJ mol-1) 0 0 -230
The standard enthalpy, entropy, and free energy changes of the reaction are calculated using the values from the table and the stoichiometric coefficients from the balanced chemical reaction:
where arxn is the stoichiometric coefficient for a given ...
