Textbook Question
Textbook QuestionThe conversion of natural gas, which is mostly methane, into products that contain two or more carbon atoms, such as ethane 1C2H62, is a very important industrial chemical process. In principle, methane can be converted into ethane and hydrogen: 2 CH41g2¡C2H61g2 + H21g2 In practice, this reaction is carried out in the presence of oxygen: 2 CH41g2 + 12O21g2¡C2H61g2 + H2O1g2 (b) Is the difference in ΔG° for the two reactions due primarily to the enthalpy term 1ΔH2or the entropy term (-TΔS)?
