A. 1s22s1
B. 1s22s2
C. 1s22s22p1
D. 1s22s22p2

Chemical Thermodynamics
Question 1: A key step in the production of sulfuric acid is the oxidation of SO2(g) to
SO3(g):
2SO2(g) + O2(g) 2SO3(g)
At 298 K, ∆ G=−14.6 kJ ; ∆ H=−198.4 kJ ; ∆ S=−187.9 J / K .
Assuming that ∆ H and ∆ S are constant with T, what is the value of T so that the reaction
is spontaneous?
A. T > 2650C
B. T < 7830C
C. T < 9500C
D. T > 5000C
Explain: When ∆ G < 0, the reaction is spontaneous, then ∆ G = ∆ H - T∆ S < 0
-198.4 kJ – [(-187.9 J/K)(T+273 K)(1 kJ/1000 J)] < 0 T < 7830C
Question 2: Which of these processes are nonspontaneous:
A. methane burning in air
B. a teaspoonful of sugar dissolving in a cup of hot coffee
C. a soft-boiled egg becoming raw
D. water evaporating from a puddle in summer
Question 3: Predict which substance has greatest molar entropy:
A. Cgraphite(s)
B. H2O(l)
C. O3(g)
6
D. O2(g)
Explain: More complex molecules generally have larger entropy, solid < liquid < gases
Question 4: Which one of the following processes produces a decrease of the entropy of
the system?
A. dissolving sodium chloride in water
B. sublimation of naphthalene
C. dissolving oxygen in water
D. boiling of alcohol
Question 5: When aluminum metal is exposed to atmospheric oxygen (as in aluminum
doors and windows), it is oxidized to form aluminum oxide. How much heat is released
by the complete oxidation of 24.2 grams of aluminum at 25°C and 1 atm? The
thermochemical equation is

A. -751
B. -10056
C. 751
D. -13408
Explain: For 24.2g Al,
1mol Al 1mol rxn −3352 kJ
∆ H rxn = 24.2 x 27 g Al x 4 mol Al x 1 mol = -751 kJ

A. 74.8 kJ
B. -74.8 kJ
C. 149.6 kJ
D. -149.6 kJ

Question 7: Use the thermodynamic data in Appendix K to estimate the normal boiling
point of bromine, Br2. Assume that ∆ H and ∆ S do not change with temperature
A. 2700K
B. 2000K
C. 590K
D. 3320K
Explain:

∆ H rxn = ∆ H 0f Br2(g) - ∆ H 0f Br2(l) = 30.91 kJ/mol
∆ S rxn = ∆ S 0 Br2(g) - ∆ S0 Br2(l) = 245.4 – 152.2 = 93.2 J/mol.K
We can now solve for the temperature at which the system is in equilibrium, that is, the
boiling point of Br2.
∆ H rxn 30.91kJ /mol
∆ G rxn = ∆ H rxn - T∆ S rxn = 0, so T = ∆ S rxn = 93.2 J /mol . K = 3320K
Question 8: Methanol, CH3OH, is an efficient fuel with a high octane rating that can be

B. 40.3 g
C. 17.9 g
D. 25.4 g
1.5 mol O2 945 kJ rxn
Explain: mO2 = 32g x 1 mol rxn

D. 108.18 kJ
74.6 g
1 mol rxn
