Chapter 15, Problem 15.52QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The entropy $({\text{ΔG}}^0)\text{}$ values should be calculated and explained given the statement of diamond to graphite formation reaction at 25⁰C.

Concept Introduction:

Entropy $({\text{ΔG}}^0)$: The entropy is second law of thermodynamics it indicated for $({\text{ΔG}}^0)$ symbol, the many of chemical reactions cause changes in entropy and it plays on important role in determining in which direction (forward and backward) a chemical reaction spontaneously proceeds.

Forward Reaction: This type of reaction has involved irreversible, if obtained product cannot be converted back in to respective reactants under the same conditions.

Backward Reaction: This type of reaction process involved a reversible, if the products can be converted into a back to reactants.
