19.1: Spontaneous Processes

19.2: entropy and the second law of thermodynamics, conceptual problems.

• A Russian space vehicle developed a leak, which resulted in an internal pressure drop from 1 atm to 0.85 atm. Is this an example of a reversible expansion? Has work been done?
• Which member of each pair do you expect to have a higher entropy? Why?
• solid phenol or liquid phenol
• 1-butanol or butane
• cyclohexane or cyclohexanol
• 1 mol of N 2 mixed with 2 mol of O 2 or 2 mol of NO 2
• 1 mol of O 2 or 1 mol of O 3
• 1 mol of propane at 1 atm or 1 mol of propane at 2 atm
• Determine whether each process is reversible or irreversible.
• ice melting at 0°C
• salt crystallizing from a saline solution
• evaporation of a liquid in equilibrium with its vapor in a sealed flask
• a neutralization reaction
• cooking spaghetti
• the reaction between sodium metal and water
• oxygen uptake by hemoglobin
• evaporation of water at its boiling point
• Explain why increasing the temperature of a gas increases its entropy. What effect does this have on the internal energy of the gas?
• For a series of related compounds, does ΔS vap increase or decrease with an increase in the strength of intermolecular interactions in the liquid state? Why?
• Is the change in the enthalpy of reaction or the change in entropy of reaction more sensitive to changes in temperature? Explain your reasoning.
• Solid potassium chloride has a highly ordered lattice structure. Do you expect ΔS soln to be greater or less than zero? Why? What opposing factors must be considered in making your prediction?
• Aniline (C 6 H 5 NH 2 ) is an oily liquid at 25°C that darkens on exposure to air and light. It is used in dying fabrics and in staining wood black. One gram of aniline dissolves in 28.6 mL of water, but aniline is completely miscible with ethanol. Do you expect ΔS soln in H 2 O to be greater than, less than, or equal to ΔS soln in CH 3 CH 2 OH? Why?

Conceptual Answers

• No, it is irreversible; no work is done because the external pressure is effectively zero.
• irreversible
• Water has a highly ordered, hydrogen-bonded structure that must reorganize to accommodate hydrophobic solutes like aniline. In contrast, we expect that aniline will be able to disperse randomly throughout ethanol, which has a significantly less ordered structure. We therefore predict that ΔS soln in ethanol will be more positive than ΔS soln in water.

Numerical Problems

• Liquid nitrogen, which has a boiling point of −195.79°C, is used as a coolant and as a preservative for biological tissues. Is the entropy of nitrogen higher or lower at −200°C than at −190°C? Explain your answer. Liquid nitrogen freezes to a white solid at −210.00°C, with an enthalpy of fusion of 0.71 kJ/mol. What is its entropy of fusion? Is freezing biological tissue in liquid nitrogen an example of a reversible process or an irreversible process?
• Using the second law of thermodynamics, explain why heat flows from a hot body to a cold body but not from a cold body to a hot body.
• One test of the spontaneity of a reaction is whether the entropy of the universe increases: ΔS univ > 0. Using an entropic argument, show that the following reaction is spontaneous at 25°C:

4Fe(s) + 3O 2 (g) → 2Fe 2 O 3 (s)

Why does the entropy of the universe increase in this reaction even though gaseous molecules, which have a high entropy, are consumed?

• Calculate the missing data in the following table.

Based on this table, can you conclude that entropy is related to the nature of functional groups? Explain your reasoning.

The text states that the magnitude of ΔS vap tends to be similar for a wide variety of compounds. Based on the values in the table, do you agree?

19.3: The Molecular Interpretation of Entropy

19.4: entropy changes in chemical reactions, 19.5: gibbs free energy.

• How does each example illustrate the fact that no process is 100% efficient?
• burning a log to stay warm
• the respiration of glucose to provide energy
• burning a candle to provide light
• Neither the change in enthalpy nor the change in entropy is, by itself, sufficient to determine whether a reaction will occur spontaneously. Why?
• If a system is at equilibrium, what must be the relationship between ΔH and ΔS?
• The equilibrium 2AB⇌A 2 B 2 is exothermic in the forward direction. Which has the higher entropy—the products or the reactants? Why? Which is favored at high temperatures?
• Is ΔG a state function that describes a system or its surroundings? Do its components—ΔH and ΔS—describe a system or its surroundings?
• How can you use ΔG to determine the temperature of a phase transition, such as the boiling point of a liquid or the melting point of a solid?
• Occasionally, an inventor claims to have invented a “perpetual motion” machine, which requires no additional input of energy once the machine has been put into motion. Using your knowledge of thermodynamics, how would you respond to such a claim? Justify your arguments.
• Must the entropy of the universe increase in a spontaneous process? If not, why is no process 100% efficient?
• The reaction of methyl chloride with water produces methanol and hydrogen chloride gas at room temperature, despite the fact that ΔH ∘ rxn = 7.3 kcal/mol. Using thermodynamic arguments, propose an explanation as to why methanol forms.
• In order for the reaction to occur spontaneously, ΔG for the reaction must be less than zero. In this case, ΔS must be positive, and the TΔS term outweighs the positive value of ΔH.
• Use the tables in the text to determine whether each reaction is spontaneous under standard conditions. If a reaction is not spontaneous, write the corresponding spontaneous reaction.
• \(\mathrm{H_2(g)}+\frac{1}{2}\mathrm{O_2(g)}\rightarrow\mathrm{H_2O(l)}\)

If a reaction is not spontaneous, at what temperature does it become spontaneous?
• A student was asked to propose three reactions for the oxidation of carbon or a carbon compound to CO or CO 2 . The reactions are listed in the following table. Are any of these reactions spontaneous at 25°C? If a reaction does not occur spontaneously at 25°C, at what temperature does it become spontaneous?
• Tungsten trioxide (WO 3 ) is a dense yellow powder that, because of its bright color, is used as a pigment in oil paints and water colors (although cadmium yellow is more commonly used in artists’ paints). Tungsten metal can be isolated by the reaction of WO 3 with H 2 at 1100°C according to the equation WO 3 (s) + 3H 2 (g) → W(s) + 3H 2 O(g). What is the lowest temperature at which the reaction occurs spontaneously? ΔH° = 27.4 kJ/mol and ΔS° = 29.8 J/K.
• Sulfur trioxide (SO 3 ) is produced in large quantities in the industrial synthesis of sulfuric acid. Sulfur dioxide is converted to sulfur trioxide by reaction with oxygen gas.

Ba(NO 3 ) 2 (aq) + 2NaI(aq) → BaI 2 (aq) + 2NaNO 3 (aq)

You know that ΔG° for the reaction at 25°C is 22.64 kJ/mol. What is ΔH° for this reaction? What is S° for BaI 2 ?
