Consider the formation of glucose from carbon dioxide and water (i.e. the reaction of the photosynthetic process): 6CO2 (g) + 6H2O (l) → C6H12O6 (s) + 6O2 (g)
The following table of information will be useful in working this problem:
T = 298 K
Substance | ΔHf ° (kJ mol-1) | S° (J mol-1 K-1) | Cp,m° (J mol-1 K-1)
CO2 (g) | -393.5 | 213.8 | 37.1
H2O (l) | -285.8 | 70.0 | 75.3
C6H12O6 (s) | -1273.1 | 209.2 | 219.2
O2 (g) | 0.0 | 205.2 | 29.4
Part A:
Calculate the entropy change for this chemical system at T = 298 K.
Express your answer to four significant figures and include the appropriate units.
ΔSR° = -262.4 J·K-1·mol-1
Part B:
Calculate the enthalpy change for this chemical system at T = 298 K.
Express your answer to four significant figures and include the appropriate units.
ΔHR° = 2.803 × 10^6 J·mol-1
