Consider the vaporization of liquid water to steam at a pressure of 1 atm. (a) Is this process endothermic or exothermic?
Consider the vaporization of liquid water to steam at a pressure of 1 atm. (b) In what temperature range is it a spontaneous process?
Consider the vaporization of liquid water to steam at a pressure of 1 atm. (c) In what temperature range is it a nonspontaneous process?
The normal freezing point of n-octane (C8H18) is -57 °C. (b) In what temperature range is the freezing of n-octane a spontaneous process?
The normal freezing point of n-octane (C8H18) is -57 °C. (d) Is there any temperature at which liquid n-octane and solid n-octane are in equilibrium? Explain.
A system goes from state 1 to state 2 and back to state 1 following a reversible path in both directions. Which of the following statements about this process is or are true?
c. The value of w on going from state 1 to state 2 is equal in magnitude and opposite in sign to the value of w on going from state 2 back to state 1.
