Question

The process of melting solid ice to produce water has the following thermodynamic values: Î”H = +1.44 kcal/mol and Î”S = +5.26 cal/molâ‹…K. a) What is the value for Î”G at 263K in cal/mol? b) Is melting ice spontaneous at 263K? c) What about the reverse reaction? Would liquid water spontaneously freeze at 263K? d) Convert 263K to Â°C. Would you expect ice to melt at this temperature? e) What is the value for Î”G at 283K in cal/mol? f) Is melting ice spontaneous at 283K? g) What about the reverse reaction? Would liquid water spontaneously freeze at 283K? h) Convert 283K to Â°C. Would you expect ice to melt at this temperature? i) What is the value for Î”G at 273K in cal/mol? (Be careful to only use 3 Sig Figs in your calculations) j) Convert 273K to Â°C. Would you expect ice to melt at this temperature? k) A Î”G of 0 indicates a system is at equilibrium. Use this to explain which process is spontaneous at 273K, melting or freezing? Consider the following process: 2Hg(l) + O2(g) --> 2HgO(s) Î”H = -43 kcal/mol a) Does entropy increase or decrease in this process? b) Under what conditions (temperature) would you expect this process to be spontaneous?
