Trouton’s rule states that for many liquids at their normal boiling points, the standard molar entropy of vaporization is about 88 J/mol‐K. b. Look up the normal boiling point of Br2 in a chemistry handbook or at the WebElements website (www.webelements.com) and compare it to your calculation. What are the possible sources of error, or incorrect assumptions, in the calculation?
Consider the following three reactions: (i) Ti(s) + 2 Cl2(g) → TiCl4(1g) (a) For each of the reactions, use data in Appendix C to calculate ΔH°, ΔG°, K, and ΔS ° at 25 °C.

Using the data in Appendix C and given the pressures listed, calculate Kp and ΔG for each of the following reactions:
(a) N2(g) + 3 H2(g) → 2 NH3(g) PN2 = 2.6 atm, PH2 = 5.9 atm, PNH3 = 1.2 atm
(b) 2 N2H4(g) + 2 NO2(g) → 3 N2(g) + 4 H2O(g) PN2H4 = PNO2 = 5.0 × 10-2 atm, PN2 = 0.5 atm, PH2O = 0.3 atm
(c) N2H4(g) → N2(g) + 2 H2(g) PN2H4 = 0.5 atm, PN2 = 1.5 atm, PH2 = 2.5 atm
