Properties of Enthalpy 41. This is an endothermic reaction, so heat must be absorbed in order to convert reactants into
products. The high-temperature environment of internal combustion engines provides the heat.
42. One should try to cool the reaction mixture or provide some means of removing heat because
the reaction is very exothermic (heat is released). The H2SO4(aq) will get very hot and possibly boil unless cooling is provided.
43. a. Heat is absorbed from the water (it gets colder) as KBr dissolves, so this is an endothermic process. b. Heat is released as CH4 is burned, so this is an exothermic process. c. Heat is released to the water (it gets hot) as H2SO4 is added, so this is an exothermic
process. d. Heat must be added (absorbed) to boil water, so this is an endothermic process. 44. a. The combustion of gasoline releases heat, so this is an exothermic process. b. H2O(g) → H2O(l); heat is released when water vapor condenses, so this is an exothermic process. c. To convert a solid to a gas, heat must be absorbed, so this is an endothermic process. d.

CHAPTER 6 THERMOCHEMISTRY 191 50. H = E + PV; from this equation, H > E when V > 0, H < E when V < 0, and H
= E when V = 0. Concentrate on the moles of gaseous products versus the moles of gaseous reactants to predict V for a reaction.
a. There are 2 moles of gaseous reactants converting to 2 moles of gaseous products, so V = 0. For this reaction, H = E. b. There are 4 moles of gaseous reactants converting to 2 moles of gaseous products, so V < 0 and H < E. c. There are 9 moles of gaseous reactants converting to 10 moles of gaseous products, so V > 0 and H > E. Calorimetry and Heat Capacity 51. Specific heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of
one gram of substance by one degree Celsius. Therefore, H2O(l) with the largest heat capacity value requires the largest amount of heat for this process. The amount of heat for H2O(l) is:
energy = s × m × ΔT = gCJ18.4
o × 25.0 g × (37.0°C 15.0°C) = 2.30 × 103 J
The largest temperature change when a certain amount of energy is added to a certain mass of substance will occur for the substance with the smallest specific heat capacity. This is Hg(l), and the temperature change for this process is:

55. | Heat loss by hot water | = | heat gain by cooler water |
The magnitudes of heat loss and heat gain are equal in calorimetry problems. The only difference is the sign (positive or negative). To avoid sign errors, keep all quantities positive and, if necessary, deduce the correct signs at the end of the problem. Water has a specific heat capacity = s = 4.18 J/°C•g = 4.18 J/K•g (ΔT in °C = ΔT in K).
Heat loss by hot water = s × m × ΔT = gK
J18.4 × 50.0 g × (330. K Tf)
Heat gain by cooler water = gK
J18.4 × 30.0 g × (Tf 280. K); heat loss = heat gain, so:
58. Heat released to water = 5.0 g H2 × 2H gJ120. + 10. g methane ×

Heat gain by water = 1.10 × 103 J = gCJ18.4
o × 50.0 g × T
T = 5.26°C, 5.26°C = Tf 25.0°C, Tf = 30.3°C 59. Heat gain by water = heat loss by metal = s × m × ΔT, where s = specific heat capacity.
Heat gain = gCJ18.4
o × 150.0 g × (18.3°C 15.0°C) = 2100 J
A common error in calorimetry problems is sign errors. Keeping all quantities positive helps to eliminate sign errors.

61. 50.0 × 103 L × 0.100 mol/L = 5.00 × 103 mol of both AgNO3 and HCl are reacted. Thus 5.00 × 103 mol of AgCl will be produced because there is a 1 : 1 mole ratio between reactants.
Heat lost by chemicals = heat gained by solution
Heat gain = gCJ18.4
o × 100.0 g × (23.40 22.60)°C = 330 J
Heat loss = 330 J; this is the heat evolved (exothermic reaction) when 5.00 × 103 mol of AgCl is produced. So q = 330 J and ΔH (heat per mol AgCl formed) is negative with a value of:
ΔH = = 66 kJ/mol
Note: Sign errors are common with calorimetry problems. However, the correct sign for ΔH can be determined easily from the ΔT data;; i.e., if ΔT of the solution increases, then the reaction is exothermic because heat was released, and if ΔT of the solution decreases, then the reaction is endothermic because the reaction absorbed heat from the water. For calorimetry problems, keep all quantities positive until the end of the calculation and then decide the sign for ΔH. This will help eliminate sign errors.
We have a stoichiometric mixture. All of the NaOH and HCl will react.
0.10 L × Lmol0.1 = 0.10 mol of HCl is neutralized by 0.10 mol NaOH.

o × (31.3 – 24.6)C = 5.6 × 103 J = 5.6 kJ
Heat loss = 5.6 kJ; this is the heat released by the neutralization of 0.10 mol HCl. Because the temperature increased, the sign for ΔH must be negative, i.e., the reaction is exothermic. For calorimetry problems, keep all quantities positive until the end of the calculation and then decide the sign for ΔH. This will help eliminate sign errors.
ΔH = mol10.0kJ6.5 = 56 kJ/mol
63. Heat lost by solution = heat gained by KBr; mass of solution = 125 g + 10.5 g = 136 g Note: Sign errors are common with calorimetry problems. However, the correct sign for
ΔH can easily be obtained from the ΔT data. When working calorimetry problems, keep all quantities positive (ignore signs). When finished, deduce the correct sign for ΔH. For this problem, T decreases as KBr dissolves, so ΔH is positive;; the dissolution of KBr is endothermic (absorbs heat).
Heat lost by solution = gCJ18.4
o × 136 g × (24.2°C 21.1°C) = 1800 J = heat gained by KBr

+(aq) + NO3(aq) ΔH = ?;; mass of solution = 75.0 g + 1.60 g = 76.6 g
Heat lost by solution = heat gained as NH4NO3 dissolves. To help eliminate sign errors, we will keep all quantities positive (q and ΔT) and then deduce the correct sign for ΔH at the end of the problem. Here, because temperature decreases as NH4NO3 dissolves, heat is absorbed as NH4NO3 dissolves, so this is an endothermic process (ΔH is positive).

364 CHAPTER 10 LIQUIDS AND SOLIDS 95. 96. a. The plateau at the lowest temperature signifies the melting/freezing of the substance. Hence the freezing point is 20C. b. The higher temperature plateau signifies the boiling/condensation of the substance. The
temperature of this plateau is 120C. c. X(s) X(l) H = Hfusion; X(l) X(g) H = Hvaporization The heat of fusion and the heat of vaporization terms refer to enthalpy changes for the
specific phase changes illustrated in the equations above. In a heating curve, energy is applied at a steady rate. So the longer, higher temperature plateau has a larger enthalpy change associated with it as compared to the shorter plateau. The higher temperature plateau occurs when a liquid is converting to a gas, so the heat of vaporization is greater than the heat of fusion. This is always the case because significantly more intermolecular forces are broken when a substance boils than when a substance melts.
97. a. Many more intermolecular forces must be broken to convert a liquid to a gas as compared with converting a solid to a liquid. Because more intermolecular forces must be broken, much more energy is required to vaporize a liquid than is required to melt a solid. Therefore, Hvap is much larger than Hfus.

d. This is the reverse process of that described in part c, so the energy change is the same quantity but opposite in sign. Therefore, q = 4220 J; i.e., 4220 of heat will be released.

As is typical, the energy required to vaporize a certain quantity of substance is much larger than the energy required to melt the same quantity of substance. A lot more intermolecular forces must be broken to vaporize a substance as compared to melting a substance.
99. To calculate qtotal, break up the heating process into five steps. H2O(s, 20.°C) H2O(s, 0°C), ΔT = 20.°C; let sice = specific heat capacity of ice:
H2O(l, 100.°C) H2O(l, 0°C), q3 = 4.2 J/g•°C × 75.0 g × (100.°C) = 32,000 J = 32 kJ To convert H2O(g) at 125°C to H2O(l) at 0°C requires (−3.8 kJ − 169 kJ − 32 kJ =) −205 kJ of heat removed. To convert from H2O(l) at 0°C to H2O(s) at 0°C requires:
q4 = 75.0 g × mol
kJ02.6g02.18
mol1 = −25.1 kJ
This amount of energy puts us over the −215 kJ limit (−205 kJ − 25.1 kJ = −230. kJ). There-fore, a mixture of H2O(s) and H2O(l) will be present at 0°C when 215 kJ of heat is removed from the gas sample.

and hence larger positional probability. b. N2; N2 at STP has the greater volume because P is smaller and T is larger. c. H2O(l) has a larger positional probability than H2O(s). 32. Of the three phases (solid, liquid, and gas), solids are most ordered (have the smallest
positional probability) and gases are most disordered (have the largest positional probability). Thus a , b, and f (melting, sublimation, and boiling) involve an increase in the entropy of the system since going from a solid to a liquid or from a solid to a gas or from a liquid to a gas increases disorder (increases positional probability). For freezing (process c), a substance goes from the more disordered liquid state to the more ordered solid state; hence, entropy decreases. Process d (mixing) involves an increase in disorder (an increase in positional probability), while separation (phase e) increases order (decreases positional probability). So, of all the processes, a, b, d, and f result in an increase in the entropy of the system.
33. a. Boiling a liquid requires heat. Hence this is an endothermic process. All endothermic
processes decrease the entropy of the surroundings (ΔSsurr is negative). b. This is an exothermic process. Heat is released when gas molecules slow down enough to
form the solid. In exothermic processes, the entropy of the surroundings increases (ΔSsurr is positive).

a. ΔG = ΔH TΔS = 25 × 103 J (300. K)(5.0 J/K) = 24,000 J; not spontaneous
b. ΔG = 25,000 J (300. K)(100. J/K) = 5000 J; spontaneous c. Without calculating ΔG, we know this reaction will be spontaneous at all temperatures.
ΔH is negative and ΔS is positive (TΔS < 0). ΔG will always be less than zero with these sign combinations for ΔH and ΔS.
664 CHAPTER 17 SPONTANEITY, ENTROPY, AND FREE ENERGY 36. ΔG = ΔH TΔS;; a process is spontaneous when ΔG < 0. For the following, assume ΔH and
ΔS are temperature-independent. a. When ΔH and ΔS are both negative, ΔG will be negative below a certain temperature
where the favorable ΔH term dominates. When ΔG = 0, then ΔH = TΔS. Solving for this temperature:
T = K/J.60J000,18

At T < 3.0 × 102 K, this process will be spontaneous (ΔG < 0). b. When ΔH and ΔS are both positive, ΔG will be negative above a certain temperature

T = K/J.60J000,18
SΔHΔ = 3.0 × 102 K
At T > 3.0 × 102 K, this process will be spontaneous (ΔG < 0). c. When ΔH is positive and ΔS is negative, this process can never be spontaneous at any
temperature because ΔG can never be negative. d. When ΔH is negative and ΔS is positive, this process is spontaneous at all temperatures
because ΔG will always be negative. 37. At the boiling point, ΔG = 0, so ΔH = TΔS.

b. Decrease in positional probability; ΔS° is negative for the liquid to solid phase change. c. Decrease in positional probability; ΔS° is negative because the moles of gas decreased

solid state. 45. a. 2 H2S(g) + SO2(g) 3 Srhombic(s) + 2 H2O(g); because there are more molecules of
reactant gases than product molecules of gas (Δn = 2 3 < 0), ΔS° will be negative.

We need to solve for the temperature when ΔG° = 0:
This reaction will be spontaneous (ΔG < 0) at T > 630 K, where the favorable entropy term will dominate.
62. a. ΔG° = 2(270. kJ) 2(502 kJ) = 464 kJ b. Because ΔG° is positive, this reaction is not spontaneous at standard conditions at 298 K. c. ΔG° = ΔH° TΔS°, ΔH° = ΔG° + TΔS° = 464 kJ + 298 K(0.179 kJ/K) = 517 kJ We need to solve for the temperature when ΔG° = 0:

This reaction will be spontaneous at standard conditions (ΔG° < 0) when T > 2890 K. Here the favorable entropy term will dominate.
At standard concentrations, this reaction is spontaneous only at temperatures below T = ΔH°/ΔS° = 67 K (where the favorable ΔH° term will dominate, giving a negative ΔG° value). This is not practical. Substances will be in condensed phases and rates will be very slow at this extremely low temperature.
This reaction also has a favorable enthalpy and an unfavorable entropy term. But this reaction, at standard concentrations, is spontaneous at temperatures below T = ΔH°/ΔS° = 622 K (a much higher temperature than the first reaction). So the reaction of CH3OH and CO will be preferred at standard concentrations. It is spontaneous at high enough temperatures that the rates of reaction should be reasonable.
Since the signs of ΔH° and ΔS° are both negative, this reaction at standard concentrations will be spontaneous at temperatures below 360 K (where the favorable ΔH° term will dominate).
Both ΔH° and ΔS° have unfavorable signs. ΔG° can never be negative when ΔH° is positive and ΔS° is negative. So this reaction can never be spontaneous at standard conditions.
Thus the reaction C2H4(g) + H2O(g) C2H5OH(l) would be preferred at standard conditions.

65. ΔG = ΔG° + RT ln Q;; for this reaction: ΔG = ΔG° + RT ln3
ΔG° = ΔH° − TΔS°;; because there is a decrease in the number of moles of gaseous particles, ΔS° is negative. Because ΔG° is negative, ΔH° must be negative. The reaction will be spontaneous at low temperatures (the favorable ΔH° term dominates at low temperatures).
