I2 (s) → I2 (g)At constant temperature and pressure, in which of these changes is work done by the system on the surroundings? By the surroundings on the system? In which of them is no work done?
The breaking of the O-O bond in peroxydisulfuryl
difluoride (FO,SOOSO,F) gives FO,SO:
(FO2SO)2 2 2 FO2SO
The compound on the left of this equation is a colorless
liquid that boils at 67.1°C. Its vapor, when heated to
about 100°C, turns brown as the product of the reaction
forms. Suppose that, in a sample of the vapor, the intensity
of the brown color doubles between 100°C and 110°C
and that the total pressure increases only by the 2.7%
predicted for an ideal gas. Estimate AH° for the preceding
reaction.
