Defining the reactants and products as the system under study:
- (a) Predict whether ΔS°(system), ΔS°(surroundings), ΔS°(universe), ΔrH°, and ΔrG° (at 298 K) are greater than zero, equal to zero, or less than zero; and explain your prediction. Verify your predictions by calculating values for each of these quantities.
- (b) Calculate the value of Kp for this reaction at 298 K.

Write a balanced chemical equation for the combustion in O2ofeach of these compounds, and then use the data inAppendix J to show that each reaction is product-favoredat room temperature.
