Capitolo 18, Problema 62d

For each reaction, calculate ΔH°rxn, ΔS°rxn, and ΔG°rxn at 25 °C and state whether or not the reaction is spontaneous. If the reaction is not spontaneous, would a change in temperature make it spontaneous? If so, should the temperature be raised or lowered from 25 °C? d. 2 KClO3(s) → 2 KCl(s) + 3 O2(g)

Identify the standard enthalpy change (\( \Delta H^\circ \)) for the reaction by using standard enthalpies of formation (\( \Delta H_f^\circ \)) for each compound involved. Use the formula: \( \Delta H^\circ_{\text{rxn}} = \sum \Delta H_f^\circ (\text{products}) - \sum \Delta H_f^\circ (\text{reactants}) \).
Determine the standard entropy change (\( \Delta S^\circ \)) for the reaction using standard molar entropies (\( S^\circ \)) for each compound. Use the formula: \( \Delta S^\circ_{\text{rxn}} = \sum S^\circ (\text{products}) - \sum S^\circ (\text{reactants}) \).
Calculate the standard Gibbs free energy change (\( \Delta G^\circ \)) for the reaction at 25 °C using the equation: \( \Delta G^\circ_{\text{rxn}} = \Delta H^\circ_{\text{rxn}} - T \Delta S^\circ_{\text{rxn}} \), where \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin (298 K).
Assess the spontaneity of the reaction by examining the sign of \( \Delta G^\circ_{\text{rxn}} \). If \( \Delta G^\circ_{\text{rxn}} < 0 \), the reaction is spontaneous at 25 °C. If \( \Delta G^\circ_{\text{rxn}} > 0 \), the reaction is non-spontaneous at 25 °C.
If the reaction is non-spontaneous, consider how temperature affects spontaneity. If \( \Delta H^\circ > 0 \) and \( \Delta S^\circ > 0 \), increasing temperature may make the reaction spontaneous. If \( \Delta H^\circ < 0 \) and \( \Delta S^\circ < 0 \), decreasing temperature may make the reaction spontaneous.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Thermodynamic Functions (ΔH, ΔS, ΔG)

Thermodynamic functions such as enthalpy change (ΔH), entropy change (ΔS), and Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) are essential for understanding chemical reactions. ΔH indicates the heat absorbed or released during a reaction, ΔS measures the disorder or randomness of the system, and ΔG determines the spontaneity of the reaction. A negative ΔG indicates a spontaneous reaction, while a positive ΔG suggests non-spontaneity.

First Law of Thermodynamics

Spontaneity of Reactions

The spontaneity of a reaction is determined by the sign of ΔG. A reaction is spontaneous at a given temperature if ΔG is negative, meaning it can occur without external energy. The relationship between ΔH, ΔS, and temperature is described by the equation ΔG = ΔH - TΔS, indicating that changes in temperature can influence spontaneity, especially for reactions with positive ΔH and ΔS.

Spontaneity of Processes

Temperature's Effect on Spontaneity

Temperature plays a crucial role in determining the spontaneity of a reaction, particularly when ΔH and ΔS have opposing signs. For reactions where ΔH is positive and ΔS is also positive, increasing the temperature can make ΔG negative, thus making the reaction spontaneous. Conversely, if ΔH is negative and ΔS is negative, lowering the temperature may be necessary to achieve spontaneity.
