Question 1

Gibbs Free Energy ($$\Delta G) is a $$measure of what type of change in a chemical or physical process?

Accepted Answer

Energy

Question 2

Which of the following statements is true if $$\Delta G is $$small and positive for a reaction?

Accepted Answer

The reverse reaction is spontaneous and system is near equilibrium.

Question 3

If $$\Delta H is $$positive and $$\Delta S is $$positive, under what temperature conditions will a reaction be spontaneous?

Accepted Answer

At high temperatures

Question 4

For the reaction: $$\mathrm{$$PCl_5$$ (g) \rightarrow $$PCl_3$$ (g) + Cl_2$ (g)} at 25$^\circC$$, $$\Delta H = 92.50 kJ. $$Which of the following statements is true?

Accepted Answer

If the temperature is increased, the ratio $$\frac{[$$PCl_3$$][Cl_2$]}{[$$PCl_5$$]}$$ will increase.

Question 5

What are the signs of $$\Delta H$$, $$\Delta S$$, and $$\Delta G$$ for the spontaneous conversion of a solid into a gas?

Accepted Answer

$$\Delta H \u003e 0$$, $$\Delta S \u003e 0$$, $$\Delta G \u003c 0$$

Question 6

You calculate the value of $$\Delta G$$ for a chemical reaction and get a positive value. What is the most accurate way to interpret this result?

Accepted Answer

If a mixture of reactants and products is created and left to equilibrate, the equilibrium mixture will contain more reactant than product.

Question 7

Consider the combustion of butane gas: $$\mathrm{C_4H_{10}(g) + 13/2 O_2$(g) \rightarrow 4 CO_2$(g) + 5 H_2O(g)}. $$Predict the signs of $$\Delta S$$, $$\Delta H$$, and $$\Delta G.$$

Accepted Answer

$$\Delta S \u003c 0$$, $$\Delta H \u003c 0$$, $$\Delta G \u003c 0$$

Question 8

Which equation correctly relates Gibbs Free Energy to enthalpy, entropy, and temperature?

Accepted Answer

$$\Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta S$$

Accepted Answer

$$385\ ^\circC$$

Question 10

A particular reaction has $$\Delta H = -350 kJ $$and $$\Delta S = -350 J/K at 24$^\circC. $$How much heat will be released/absorbed?
