Question
For the reaction. $2 \mathrm{Cl}(\mathrm{g}) \rightarrow \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~g}$, what are the signs of $\Delta \mathrm{H}$ and $\Delta \mathrm{S}$ ?
Step 1
When bonds form, energy is released. This means the enthalpy change, $\Delta \mathrm{H}$, is negative. Show more…

Predict the sign of $\Delta S^{\circ}$ and then calculate $\Delta S^{\circ}$ for each of the following reactions. a. $\mathrm{H}_{2}(g)+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)$ b. $2 \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}(g)+3 \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+4 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g)$ c. $\mathrm{HCl}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{Cl}^{-}(a q)$
Predict the sign of $\Delta S$ for the following reactions. $$ \begin{array}{l} \text { (a) } \mathrm{Ba}(s)+\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{BaCl}_{2}(s) \\ \text { (b) } \mathrm{NaCl}(s) \longrightarrow \mathrm{Na}^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{Cl}^{-}(a q) \end{array} $$ (c) $2 \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}(s) \stackrel{\text { heat }}{\longrightarrow}$ $$ 2 \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}(s)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g)+\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g) $$
