What is entropy? Why is entropy important?
The overall reaction that occurs when sugar is metabolized is C12H22O11(s)+12O2(g)12CO2(g)+11H2O(l) For this reaction, H° is -5650 kJ and G° is -5790 kJ at 25°C. (a) If 25% of the free energy change is actually converted to useful work, how many kilojoules of work are obtained when one gram of sugar is metabolized at body temperature, 37°C? (b) How many grams of sugar would a 120-lb woman have to eat to get the energy to climb the Jungfrau in the Alps, which is 4158 m high? ( w=9.79103mh, where w= work in kilojoules, m is body mass in kilograms, and h is height in meters.)
For the reaction NO(g)+NO2(g)N2O3(g) , use tabulated thermodynamic data to calculate H and S. Then use those values to answer the following questions. (a) Is this reaction spontaneous at 25°C? Explain your answer. (b) If the reaction is not spontaneous at 25°C, will it become spontaneous at higher temperatures or lower temperatures? (c) To show that your prediction is accurate, choose a temperature that corresponds to your prediction in part (b) and calculate G . (Assume that both enthalpy and entropy are independent of temperature.)
Define the following: a. spontaneous process b. entropy c. positional probability d. system e. surroundings f. universe
