Question

12. Calculate the maximum energy, in the form of labor, involved in the combustion of 1.00 mol of C2H6 ethane (g) at 25 ° C and 101.325 kPa (standard conditions).
According to your results, will this work be done by the system on the environment or vice versa?

On the other hand, would this process be spontaneous at all temperatures? justify
C2H6(g) + 7/2 O2(g)---->2CO2(g) + 3 H2O(I) delta H•comb= -1560,7 kJ/mol
S•( C2H6(g))= 229,2 J K-1 mol-1 S•(O2(g))=205,2 J K-1 mol-1 S•( CO2(g)) = 213,8 J K-1 mol-1 S•( H2O(l)) = 70,0 J K-1 mol -1 12. Calculate the maximum energy, in the form of labor, involved in the combustion of 1.00 mol of C2H6 ethane (g) at 25 ° C and 101.325 kPa (standard conditions).

Explanation / Answer

C2H6(g) + 7/2 O2(g)---->2CO2(g) + 3 H2O(I)  delta H•comb= -1560,7 kJ/mol

delta S = Sproduct - Sreactant

delta S = { 2* S•( CO2(g)) + 3* S•( H2O(l)) } - { S•( C2H6(g)) + 3.5* S•(O2(g)) }

delta S = {2* 213,8 + 3* 70,0 } - { 229,2 +3.5* 205,2 }

delta S = -309.8 J K-1 mol -1

delta G = delta H•comb - T* delta S

delta G =  -1560,7*1000 - (25+273.15)*(-309.8) = -468333.13 KJ (This is the enrgy in labor form)

Since our delta G is negetive so the process is spontaneous.
