Nickel metal reacts with carbon monoxide to form tetra-carbonyl nickel, Ni(CO)4: Ni(s)+4CO(g)Ni(CO)4(g) This reaction is exploited in the Mond process in order to separate pure nickel from other metals. The reaction above separates nickel from impurities by dissolving it into the gas phase. Conditions are then changed so that the reaction runs in the opposite direction to recover the purified metal. (a) Predict the sign of S for the reaction as written above. (b) Use tabulated thermodynamic data to calculate H, S , and G for the reaction. (c) Find the range of temperatures at which this reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction.

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?
How does the second law of thermodynamics explain a spontaneous change in a system that becomes more ordered when that process is exothermic?
For the reaction C2H2(g)+4F2(g)2CF4(g)+H2(g) S is equal to 358 J/K. Use this value and data from Appendix 4 to calculate the value of S for CF4(g).

For the reaction at 298 K, 2NO2(g)N2O4(g) the values of H and S are 58.03 kJ and 176.6 J/K, respectively. What is the value of G at 298 K? Assuming that H and S do not depend on temperature, at what temperature is G = 0? Is G negative above or below this temperature?
Consider the reaction of 2 mol H2(g) at 25C and 1 atm with 1 mol O2(g) at the same temperature and pressure to produce liquid water at these conditions.

Thermite reactions have been used for welding metal parts such as railway rails and in metal refining. One such thermite reaction is Fe2O3(s)+2Al(s)Al2O3(s)+2Fe(s). Is the reaction spontaneous at room temperature under standard conditions? During the reaction, the surroundings absorb 851.8 kJ/mol of heat.
