Sample Exercise 19.1 Practice Exercise 1 with feedback
Part A Identifying Spontaneous Processes
The process of iron being oxidized to make iron(III) oxide (rust) is spontaneous. Which of these statements about this process is/are true?
ANSWER:
The reduction of iron(III) oxide to iron is also spontaneous.
The oxidation of iron is endothermic.
Equilibrium is achieved in a closed system when the rate of iron oxidation is equal to the rate of iron(III) oxide reduction.
Because the process is spontaneous, the oxidation of iron must be fast.
The energy of the universe is decreased when iron is oxidized to rust.
Correct
Equilibrium occurs when the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. Thus, equilibrium is achieved in a closed system
when the rate of iron oxidation is equal to the rate of iron(III) oxide reduction.
Since the process of iron being oxidized is spontaneous, the reverse reaction would not be considered spontaneous. The energy of the universe will
remain constant regardless, however, following the first law of thermodynamics, which states that energy is conserved.
Two predictions we cannot make are regarding the speed and ethalpy of the reaction. Spontaneous reacts may occur at any rate, and may be
endothermic or exothermic.

(d) lightning, (e) formation of CH4 and O2 molecules from CO2 and H2 O at room temperature and 1 atm of pressure.

Sample Exercise 19.2 Practice Exercise 1 with feedback
Part A Calculating ΔS for a Phase Change
Do all exothermic phase changes have a negative value for the entropy change of the system?
ANSWER:
Yes, because the heat transferred from the system has a negative sign.
Yes, because the temperature decreases during the phase transition.
No, because the entropy change depends on the sign of the heat transferred to or from the system.
No, because the heat transferred to the system has a positive sign.

163.2 \rm J/K
88.5 \rm J/K
−326.3 \rm J/K

The value of \Delta S^\circ is positive, and corresponds to the qualitative prediction that the entropy would increase because of an increase in gas
molecules and change of state from liquid to gas.
Sample Exercise 19.6 Practice Exercise 1 with feedback
Part A Calculating FreeEnergy Change from \Delta H^\circ, T, and \Delta S^\circ.
Which of these statements is true?
ANSWER:
All spontaneous reactions have a negative free energy change.
All spontaneous reactions have a negative entropy change.
All spontaneous reactions have a positive entropy change.
All spontaneous reactions have a positive free energy change.
All spontaneous reactions have a negative enthalpy change.
Correct
The change in free energy, \Delta G can be used to determine the spontaneity of a reaction:
If \Delta G~<~0, the reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction.
If \Delta G~=~0, the reaction is at equilibrium.
If \Delta G~>~0, the reaction in the forward direction is nonspontaneous (work must be done to make it occur) but the reverse reaction
is spontaneous.
Sample Exercise 19.8 Practice Exercise 1 with feedback
Part A Predicting and Calculating \Delta G^\circ
If a reaction is exothermic and its entropy change is positive, which statement is true?
ANSWER:
The reaction is spontaneous at all temperatures.
The reaction is spontaneous only at lower temperatures.
The reaction is nonspontaneous at all temperatures.
The reaction is spontaneous only at higher temperatures.
Correct
For an exothermic reaction, the enthalpy change is negative, and since the entropy of the reaction is positive, T\Delta S^\circ is positive. Using the
freeenergy equation, it can be deduced that the reaction is spontaneous at all temperatures because regardless the temperature a positive value
(T\Delta S^\circ) is always being subtracted by a negative value (\Delta H^\circ) to give a negative value.
\Delta G^\circ~=~\Delta H^\circ~~T\Delta S^\circ

Part A Calculating the FreeEnergy Change under Nonstandard Conditions
Which of the following statements is true?
ANSWER:
If a reaction is spontaneous under standard conditions, it is spontaneous under all conditions.
If Q>1, \Delta G>\Delta G^\circ .
The larger the Q, the larger the \Delta G^\circ .
If Q = 0, the system is at equilibrium.
The freeenergy change for a reaction is independent of temperature.

Homework Chapter 19
Correct
By observing the freeenergy change equation for nonstandard conditions, it can be deduced that as Q~>~1, \Delta G~>~\Delta G^\circ.
\Delta G~=~\Delta G^\circ~+~RT~{\rm ln}Q
Keep in mind that \texttip{Q}{Q} only effects \Delta G (freeenergy under nonstandard conditions), and \Delta G^\circ is a constant under standard
conditions. \Delta G is dependent on temperature, and the spontaneity of a reaction may change depending on the temperature. Q = K at equilibrium.
Sample Exercise 19.12 Practice Exercise 1 with feedback
Part A Calculating an Equilibrium Constant from \Delta G^\circ
The K_{\rm sp} for a very insoluble salt is 4.2\times10^{47} at 298 \rm K. What is \Delta G^\circ for the dissolution of the salt in water?
ANSWER:
265 \rm kJ/mol
115 \rm kJ/mol
2.61 \rm kJ/mol
+115 \rm kJ/mol
+265 \rm kJ/mol
Correct
Since the salt is very insoluble, the \Delta G^\circ, should be greater than 0 because it is nonspontaneous.
