Question

1)

Which of the following processes will result in an increase of entropy of the system?

H2O (g) H2O (l)

2)

Which of the following combinations of H and S describe a process that is onlyspontaneous at low temperatures?

H: negative, S: positive

3)

What does the standard change in Gibbs free energy (G° ) of a reaction tell us about the equilbrium constant (K) for that reaction under standard conditions?

A negative G° indicates that product formation is favored, and K will be greater than 1.

4)

When the following equation is correctly balanced in acidic solution, how many electrons are transferred?

Cu+ (aq) + Mn2+ (aq) Cu (s) + MnO4- (aq)

5)

Which species is being oxidized in the following reaction?

Cu (s) + Fe2+ (aq) Cu2+ (aq) + Fe (s)

CO (g) + 2 H2 (g) CH3OH (g)

Explanation / Answer

1)

b) 2NH3=N2+3H2

two molecules are forming from one. so entropy increases

2)

delta H: negative delta S: postive

3)

a negative delta G indicates that reaction is favoured and K is greater than 1

4)

5 electrons

5)

Cu is being oxidised
