Identify which of the following compounds follow Trouton's rule.
Using the thermodynamic data below calculate the ΔS°rxn for the following reaction and justify the change in entropy.
CO(g) + NH3(g) → HCN(g) + H2O(g)
Assuming that ethane (C2H6) behaves as an ideal gas, determine the change in entropy when the volume of 3.90 g of C2H6 decreases from 1.95 L to 1.08 L at a constant temperature of 298 K.
Consider the following reaction:
What is its ΔStotal? What is its spontaneity under standard-state conditions?
The entropy change of the surroundings (ΔSsurr) for a particular reversible process is –85 J/K. Determine the entropy change of the system (ΔSsys) for this process.
