A green plant synthesizes glucose by photosynthesis, as shown in the reaction: 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) Animals use glucose as a source of energy: C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) 6CO2(g) + 6HO2(l) If we were to assume that both of these processes occur to the same extent in a cyclic process, what thermodynamic property must have a nonzero value?

The normal melting point of benzene, C6H6, is 5.5 C. For the process of melting, what is the sign of each of the following? (a) rH (b) rS (c) rG at 5.5 C (d) rSG at 0.0 C (e) rG at 25.0 C

Dissolving 6.00 g CaCl2 in 300 mL of water causes the temperature of the solution to increase by 3.43 C. Assume that the specific heat of the solution is 4.18 J/g K and its mass is 306 g. (a) Calculate the enthalpy change when the CaCl2 dissolves. Is the process exothermic or endothermic? (b) Determine H on a molar basis for CaCl2(s)H2OCa2+(aq)+2Cl(aq)

Thermodynamics provides a way to interpret everyday occurrences. If you live in northern climates, one common experience is that during early winter, snow falls but then melts when it hits the ground. Both the formation and the melting happen spontaneously. How can thermodynamics explain both of these seemingly opposed events?

Would the amount of heat absorbed by the dissolution in Example 5.6 appear greater, lesser, or remain the same if the heat capacity of the calorimeter were taken into account? Explain your answer.

From data in Appendix J, estimate (a) the boiling point of titanium(IV) chloride. (b) the boiling point of carbon disulfide, CS2, which is a liquid at 25 C and 1 bar.

Enthalpy changes often help predict whether or not a process will be spontaneous. What type of reaction is more likely to be spontaneous: an exothermic or an endothermic one? Provide two examples that support your assertion and one counterexample.

An industrial process for manufacturing sulfuric acid, H2SO4, uses hydrogen sulfide, H2S, from the purification of natural gas. In the first step of this process, the hydrogen sulfide is burned to obtain sulfur dioxide, SO2. 2H2S(g)+3O2(g)2H2O(l)+2SO2(g);H=1124kJ The density of sulfur dioxide at 25C and 1.00 atm is 2.62 g/L, and the molar heat capacity is 30.2 J/(mol C). (a) How much heat would be evolved in producing 1.00 L of SO2 at 25C and 1.00 atm? (b) Suppose heat from this reaction is used to heat 1.00 L of the SO2 from 25C to 500C for its use in the next step of the process. What percentage of the heat evolved is required for this?

The decomposition of ozone, O3, to oxygen, O2, is an exothermic reaction. What is the sign of q? If you were to touch a flask in which ozone is decomposing to oxygen, would you expect the flask to feel warm or cool?
