For reaction (a), we have: \(\Delta H^{\circ} = -2268.40 \ kJ/mol\) \(\Delta S^{\circ} = -543.84 \ J/(mol \cdot K)\) \(\Delta G^{\circ} = -2104.29 \ kJ/mol\)

Step by step solution

01

1. Write down the given reaction:

(a) \(4 \mathrm{Cr}(s)+3 \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}(s)\)
02

2. Find the standard enthalpies of formation, standard entropies and standard molar Gibbs free energies from Appendix C:

For the reactants, we have: Cr(s): \(\Delta H_f^{\circ} = 0 \ kJ/mol\), \(S^{\circ} = 7.19 \ J/(mol \cdot K)\), \(G^{\circ} = 0 \ kJ/mol\) O2(g): \(\Delta H_f^{\circ} = 0 \ kJ/mol\), \(S^{\circ} = 205.14 \ J/(mol \cdot K)\), \(G^{\circ} = 0 \ kJ/mol\) For the product, we have: Cr2O3(s): \(\Delta H_f^{\circ} = -1134.20 \ kJ/mol\), \(S^{\circ} = 81.40 \ J/(mol \cdot K)\), \(G^{\circ} = -1046.50 \ kJ/mol\)
03

3. Calculate the \(\Delta H^{\circ}\), \(\Delta S^{\circ}\), and \(\Delta G^{\circ}\) for the reaction:

For the reaction, we can write: \(\Delta H^{\circ} = \sum \Delta H_f^{\circ}(\text{products}) - \sum \Delta H_f^{\circ}(\text{reactants}) = 2(-1134.20) - (4(0) + 3(0)) = -2268.40 \ kJ/mol\) \(\Delta S^{\circ} = \sum S^{\circ}(\text{products}) - \sum S^{\circ}(\text{reactants}) = 2(81.40) - (4(7.19) + 3(205.14)) = -543.84 \ J/(mol \cdot K)\) Now, we can calculate \(\Delta G^{\circ}\) using the formula: \(\Delta G^{\circ} = \Delta H^{\circ} - T\Delta S^{\circ}\), where \(T\) is the temperature in Kelvin: \(T = 25^{\circ} C + 273.15 = 298.15 \ K\) \(\Delta G^{\circ} = -2268.40- 298.15(-543.84/1000) = -2104.29 \ kJ/mol\) For reaction (a), we have: \(\Delta H^{\circ} = -2268.40 \ kJ/mol\) \(\Delta S^{\circ} = -543.84 \ J/(mol \cdot K)\) \(\Delta G^{\circ} = -2104.29 \ kJ/mol\) Now, you should follow the same steps for reactions (b), (c), and (d) using the corresponding data from Appendix C and the given chemical equations.

Most popular questions from this chapter

The value of \(K_{a}\) for nitrous acid \(\left(\mathrm{HNO}_{2}\right)\) at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is given in Appendix D. (a) Write the chemical equation for the equilibrium that corresponds to \(K_{a \cdot}\) (b) By using the value of \(K_{a},\) calculate \(\Delta G^{\circ}\) for the dissociation of nitrous acid in aqueous solution. (c) What is the value of \(\Delta G\) at equilibrium? (d) What is the value of \(\Delta G\) when \(\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=5.0 \times 10^{-2} M\) \(\left[\mathrm{NO}_{2}^{-}\right]=6.0 \times 10^{-4} M,\) and \(\left[\mathrm{HNO}_{2}\right]=0.20 \mathrm{M} ?\)

Indicate whether each statement is true or false. (a) A reaction that is spontaneous in one direction will be nonspontaneous in the reverse direction under the same reaction conditions. (b) All spontaneous processes are fast. (c) Most spontaneous processes are reversible. (d) An isothermal process is one in which the system loses no heat. (e) The maximum amount of work can be accomplished by an irreversible process rather than a reversible one.

For a particular reaction, \(\Delta H=-32 \mathrm{kJ}\) and \(\Delta S=-98 \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{K}\) . Assume that \(\Delta H\) and \(\Delta S\) do not vary with temperature. (a) At what temperature will the reaction have \(\Delta G=0\) ? (b) If \(T\) is increased from that in part (a), will the reaction be spontaneous or nonspontaneous?

Indicate whether each statement is true or false. (a) The entropy of the universe increases for any spontaneous process. (b) The entropy change of the system is equal and opposite that of the surroundings for any irreversible process. (c) The entropy of the system must increase in any spontaneous process. (a) The entropy change for an isothermal process depends on both the absolute temperature and the amount of heat reversibly transferred.

Consider a process in which an ideal gas changes from state 1 to state 2 in such a way that its temperature changes from 300 K to 200 K. (a) Does the temperature change depend on whether the process is reversible or irreversible? (b) Is this process isothermal? (c) Does the change in the internal energy, \(\Delta E,\) depend on the particular pathway taken to carry out this change of state?
