1. Circle the member of each pair which has the higher value of entropy.

H2O (s) at 0° C          H2O (l) at 0°C
H2 (g) at 0.5 atm      H2 (g) at 2.5 atm
CH3CH3 (g)             CH3OCH3 (g)

2. Calculate the standard molar entropy change for the formation of gaseous propane C3H8 at 25°C.

3 C (graphite) + 4 H2 (g)   ---->   C3H8 (g)

3. Use the table of Thermodynamic values below to solve the following problems.
 
Compound  *Hf°(kJ/mol)  S°(J/Kmol)  *Gf° (kJ/mol) 
Al (s)  28.3 
AlCl3 (s)  -704.2  110.7 
C (graphite)  5.74 
C2H5OH (l)  -277.7  160.7  -174.78 
CO2 (g)  -393.5  213.7  -394.4 
C3H8 (g)  269.9 
Cl2 (g)  223.1 
H2 (g)  130.7 
H2O (l)  -285.8  69.9  -237.1 
O2 (g)  205.1 
 

a. Calculate the standard molar entropy change and free energy change for the reactions shown below:
 

i. 2 Al(s) + 3 Cl2 (g) ------>   2 AlCl3 (s)
 
 

ii. C2H5OH (l) + 3 O2 (g) ------> 2 CO2 (g) + 3 H2O (l)

 

 

4. Calculate the equilibrium temperature for both of the above reactions.
