Chemical Equilibrium. a) Briefly describe why (or how) it is possible to have an absolute value for the entropy of a system. b) Write appropriate inequalities for Gibbs free energy, Entropy and the Reaction Quotient that determine the direction of spontaneous change for forward, reverse or equilibrium processes. c) Briefly describe what you expect to occur as a function of time at a “single molecule" level for the chemical reaction AB=A +B9) at equilibrium. d) For the case of c how would you determine that the system is not at equilibrium?

Consider a reaction of the general form A B, which has an equilibrium constant (K) of 1.09 at 300 K. You may assume that this reaction can be approximated by a two-level system with an energy difference of Aɛ = ɛ1 - ɛ0 = 3.25 kJ/mol. Determine the ratio of the degeneracies of the product and reactant molecules. 2. Predict the equilibrium constant (K) of the above reaction at 600 K.
