- Is the formation of ozone (O3(g)) from oxygen (O2(g)) spontaneous at room temperature under standard state conditions?arrow_forwardFrom the data given in Appendix I, determine the standard enthalpy change and the standard free energy change for each of the following reactions: (a) BF3(g)+3H2O(l)B(OH)3(s)+3HF(g) (b) BCl3(g)+3H2O(l)B(OH)3+3HCl(g) (c) B2H6(g)+6H2O(l)2B(OH)3(s)+6H2(g)arrow_forwardThe major industrial use of hydrogen is in the production of ammonia by the Haber process: 3H2(g)+N2(g)2NH3(g) a. Using data from Appendix 4, calculate H, S, and G for the Haber process reaction. b. Is the reaction spontaneous at standard conditions? c. At what temperatures is the reaction spontaneous at standard conditions? Assume H and S do not depend on temperature.arrow_forward
- Calculate G at 355 K for each of the reactions in Question 17. State whether the reactions are spontaneous.arrow_forwardThe value of G for the reaction 2C4H10(g)+13O2(g)8CO2(g)+10H2O(l) is 5490. kJ. Use this value and data from Appendix 4 to calculate the standard free energy of formation for C4H 10(g).arrow_forwardWhich molecule, F2, Cl2, Br2, or I2, has the weakest chemical bond?arrow_forward
- Calcium carbide, CaC2, is manufactured by reducing lime with carbon at high temperature. (The carbide is used in turn to make acetylene, an industrially important organic chemical.) Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?arrow_forwardThe major industrial use of hydrogen is in the production of ammonia by the Haber process: 3H2(g)+N2(g)2NH3(g) a. Using data from Appendix 4, calculate H, S, and G for the Haber process reaction. b. Is the reaction spontaneous at standard conditions? c. At what temperatures is the reaction spontaneous at standard conditions? Assume H and S do not depend on temperature.arrow_forwardWhat information can be determined from G for a reaction? Does one get the same information from G, the standard free energy change? G allows determination of the equilibrium constant K for a reaction. How? How can one estimate the value of K at temperatures other than 25C for a reaction? How can one estimate the temperature where K = 1 for a reaction? Do all reactions have a specific temperature where K = 1?arrow_forward
- 9.72 Although it can be a nuisance when a laptop computer freezes up and needs to be rebooted, we accept that as somewhat inevitable. But clearly the need to occasionally reboot the control system for the power grid would not be acceptable. Use the web to research ways that engineers ensure the reliability of crucial systems like the control infrastructure of the grid, and write a paragraph summarizing the main strategies employed.arrow_forwarda Calculate K1, at 25C for phosphoric acid: H3PO4(aq)H+(aq)+H2PO4(aq) b Which thermodynamic factor is the most significant in accounting for the fact that phosphoric acid is a weak acid? Why ?arrow_forwardDetermine the standard Gibbs free energy change, rG, for the reactions of liquid methanol, of CO(g), and ofethyne, C2H2(g), with oxygen gas to form gaseous carbondioxide and (if hydrogen is present) liquid water at298 K. Use your calculations to decide which of thesesubstances are kinetically stable and which are thermodynamically stable: CH3OH(), CO(g), C2H9(g), CO2(g),H2O().arrow_forward
