Q: A reaction has $$\Delta H = -10$$ kcal/mol and $$\Delta S = -0.02$$ kcal/(mol·K). At $$T = 298 K$$, what is $$\Delta G$$?

$$\Delta G = -10 - (298 \times -0.02) = -10 + 5.96 = -4.04$$ kcal/mol

Question 1

Which of the following statements best describes the difference between homolytic and heterolytic bond cleavage?

Accepted Answer

Homolytic cleavage produces radicals, while heterolytic cleavage produces ions.

Question 2

Given the following reaction: $$\mathrm{CH_3CH_2Br} + \mathrm{Br_2$} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH_3CH_2Br_2}$$, use the bond dissociation energies below to calculate $$\Delta H$$ for the reaction. Assume the following bond energies: $$\mathrm{Br-Br}$$: 46 kcal/mol, $$\mathrm{C-Br}$$: 70 kcal/mol. The reaction breaks one $$\mathrm{Br-Br}$$ bond and forms one $$\mathrm{C-Br}$$ bond.

Accepted Answer

$$\Delta H = 46 - 70 = -24$$ kcal/mol

Question 3

Which of the following changes will increase the entropy ($$S) of a $$system?

Accepted Answer

Allowing a gas to expand into a larger volume.

Question 4

Which equation correctly relates Gibbs Free Energy ($$\Delta G$$), enthalpy ($$\Delta H$$), and entropy ($$\Delta S$$)?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 5

A reaction has $$\Delta H = -10$$ kcal/mol and $$\Delta S = -0.02$$ kcal/(mol·K). At $$T = 298 K$$, what is $$\Delta G$$?

Accepted Answer

$$\Delta G = -10 - (298 	imes -0.02) = -10 + 5.96 = -4.04$$ kcal/mol

Question 6

Which of the following best describes the relationship between the equilibrium constant ($$K_{eq}) $$and standard Gibbs Free Energy change ($$\Delta G^\circ$$)?

Accepted Answer

$$\Delta G^\circ = -RT \ln K_{eq}$$

Question 15

Which of the following is true about the energy diagram of an exothermic reaction?

Accepted Answer

The products are lower in energy than the reactants.

Question 16

A reaction has a large negative $$\Delta G^\circ. $$What can you infer about the equilibrium constant $$K_{eq}$$?

Accepted Answer

$$K_{eq} is $$much greater than 1.

Question 17

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic pattern of arrow pushing in organic reaction mechanisms?

Accepted Answer

Question 18

Which of the following statements about entropy ($$S) is $$correct?

Accepted Answer

Entropy is a measure of the randomness or disorder of a system.

Question 19

Which of the following best describes the effect of increasing temperature on the rate constant ($$k) $$for a reaction?

Accepted Answer

The rate constant increases.
