Chapter 3, Problem 3P

The decomposition of crystalline N2O5 N 2 O 5 (s) 2NO 2 (g) + 1 2 O 2 (g) is an example of a reaction that is thermodynamically favored, even though it absorbs heat. At 25o C we have the following values for the standard state enthalpy and free energy changes of the reaction:

Δ H = + 109kJ/m01
Δ Go = -30.5kJ/m01

a. Calculate Δ So at 25o C.

b. Why is the entropy change so favorable for this reaction?

Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCS) have shown some promise as a viable option for providing "green" energy to small electrical devices. Calculate E° for the reaction that takes place in DMFCS: CH3OH(I) + 3/2 02(g) → CO2(g) + 2 H20(1) Use the following values. AG°H,0(1) = -237 kJ/mol AG°O2(g) = 0 kJ/mol AG°CO2(9) = -394 kJ/mol AG°CH3OH(I) = -166 kJ/mol. E° = V
