Textbook Question
Textbook QuestionFor a process to be spontaneous, the total entropy of the system and its surroundings must increase; that is ΔStotal = ΔSsystem + ΔSsurr 7 0 for a spontaneous process Furthermore, the entropy change in the surroundings, ΔSsurr, is related to the enthalpy change for the process by the equa- tion ΔSsurr = - ΔH>T. (b) What is the value of ΔSsurr for the photosynthesis of glu- cose from CO2 at 298 K? 6 CO21g2 + 6 H2O1l2 S C6H12O61s2 + 6 O21g2 ΔG° = 2879 kJ ΔS° = - 262 J>K
