At first glance there may seem to be no apparent difference between the two substances that might
affect the entropy (the molecular formulas are identical). However, the first has the OH structural
feature which allows it to participate in hydrogen bonding with other molecules. This results in fewer
possible arrangements of molecules in the liquid state. The standard entropy of CH3OCH3 is larger.
(c)
Both are monatomic species. However, the Xe atom has a greater molar mass than Ar. Xenon has the
higher standard entropy.
(d)
Due to the extra oxygen atom, carbon dioxide molecules have a more complex molecular structure
than do carbon monoxide molecules. Specifically, carbon dioxide has vibrational and rotational
modes that carbon monoxide does not. So, carbon dioxide gas has the higher standard entropy (see
Appendix 2). There is also a mass effect. For gas phase molecules of similar complexity, increasing
molar mass tends to increase the molar entropy.
(e)
O3 has a greater molecular complexity than O2 and thus has the higher standard entropy. Ozones
molecules are also more massive (see (d) above).
(f)
Because of its greater molecular complexity and greater mass (see answer (d)), one mole of N2O4 has
a larger standard entropy than one mole of NO2. Compare values in Appendix 2.
Think About It: Use the data in Appendix 2 to compare the standard entropy of one mole of N2O4
with that of two moles of NO2. In this situation the number of atoms is the same for both. Which is
higher and why?

reactants and products in Appendix 2 of the text and apply Equation 18.7. As in the calculation of enthalpy

Assume all reactants and products are in their standard states. The entropy change in the
surroundings is related to the enthalpy change of the system by Equation 18.7. For each
reaction in Exercise 18.16, use Appendix 2 to calculate Hsys ( = Hrxn) (Section 5.3) and then
use Equation 18.7 to calculate Ssurr. Finally, use Equation 18.8 to compute Suniv. If Suniv is
positive, then according to the second law of thermodynamics, the reaction is spontaneous.
The values for Ssys are found in the solution for problem 18.16.

Reaction A: First apply Equation 18.10 of the text to compute the free energy change at 25C (298 K)
G H TS 10,500 J/mol (298 K)(30 J/Kmol) 1560 J/mol
The 1560 J/mol shows the reaction is not spontaneous at 298 K. The G will change sign (i.e., the
reaction will become spontaneous) above the temperature at which G 0.

Reaction B: Calculate G.
G H TS 1800 J/mol (298 K)(113 J/Kmol) 35,500 J/mol
The free energy change is positive, which shows that the reaction is not spontaneous at 298 K. Since both
terms are positive, there is no temperature at which their sum is negative. The reaction is not spontaneous
at any temperature.

Use Equation 18.10 from the text to solve for the free energy change.
G H TS = 1.7 104 J/mol (298 K)(65 J/Kmol) = 2370 J/mol
The negative value of G indicates that the dimerization is favored at 25C. At lower and lower
temperatures, the value of G becomes less and less negative. At temperatures below 11.6C, G is
positive, indicating that the dimerization is no longer favored. If dimerization is required in order for the
enzyme to function, and dimerization is not favored at lower temperatures, then we should expect enzyme
activity to diminish as temperature decreases.

H is endothermic. Energy must be added to denature the protein. Denaturation leads to an increase in
the number of possible arrangements of atoms. The magnitude of S is fairly large (1600 J/Kmol).
Proteins are large molecules (made up of a large number of atoms) and therefore denaturation would lead to
a large increase in the number of possible arrangements of atoms. The temperature at which the process
favors the denatured state can be calculated by setting G equal to zero.

the value of G if the given data were equilibrium pressures? What would be the value of QP in that

Strategy:
Melting is an endothermic process, Hfus > 0. Also, a liquid generally has a higher entropy
than the solid at the same temperature, so Sfus > 0. To determine the sign of Gfus, use the
fact that melting is spontaneous (Gfus < 0) for temperatures above the freezing point and is
not spontaneous (Gfus > 0) for temperatures below the freezing point.
Solution:
(a) The temperature is above the freezing point, so melting is spontaneous and Gfus < 0.
(b) The temperature is at the freezing point, so the solid and the liquid are in equilibrium and
Gfus = 0.
(c) The temperature is below the freezing point, so melting is not spontaneous and Gfus > 0.
In each part of this problem we can use the following equation to calculate G.
G G RTln Q
or,
G G RTln( [H][OH])
(a)
In this case, the given concentrations are equilibrium concentrations at 25C. Since the reaction is at
equilibrium, G 0. This is advantageous, because it allows us to calculate G. Also recall that at
equilibrium, Q K. We can write:
G RTln Kw

(d)
18.57
18.58
One possible explanation is simply that no reaction is possible. In other words, there is an unfavorable free
energy difference between products and reactants (G > 0).
A second possibility is that the potential for spontaneous change exists (G < 0), but that the reaction is
extremely slow (very large activation energy).
A remote third choice is that the student accidentally prepared a mixture in which the components were
already at their equilibrium concentrations.
Think About It: Which of the above situations would be altered by the addition of a catalyst?

For a reaction to be spontaneous, G must be negative. If S is negative, as it is in this case, then the
reaction must be exothermic. When water freezes, it gives off heat (exothermic). Consequently, the
entropy of the surroundings increases and Suniv > 0.
18.61
If the process is spontaneous as well as endothermic, the signs of G and H must be negative and
positive, respectively. Since G H TS, the sign of S must be positive (S > 0) for G to be
negative.

Troutons rule is a statement about S vap . In most substances, the molecules are in constant and
random motion in both the liquid and gas phases, so S vap = 90 J/Kmol.

In ethanol and water, there are fewer possible arrangements of the molecules due to the network of H
Evidence shows that HF, which is strongly hydrogen-bonded in the liquid phase, is still considerably
hydrogen-bonded in the vapor state such that its Svap is smaller than most other substances.

(a)
We know that HCl is a strong acid and HF is a weak acid. Thus, the equilibrium constant will be less
than 1 (K < 1).
(b)
The number of particles on each side of the equation is the same, so S 0. Therefore H will
dominate.
(c)
HCl is a weaker bond than HF (see Table 9.4 of the text), therefore H > 0.
Begin by writing the equation for the process described in the problem. Hydrogen ions must be transported
from a region where their concentration is 107.4 (4 108 M) to a region where their concentration is 101
(0.1 M).
H+(aq, 4 108 M) H+(aq, 0.1 M)
G for this process is 0. We use Equation 18.13 to calculate G. (T = 37C + 273 = 310 K.)
= 38 kJ/mol
G = G + RTlnQ = (8.314 103 kJ/mol)(310 K) ln

Therefore, the Gibbs free energy required for the secretion of 1 mole of H+ ions from the blood plasma to

For a reaction to be spontaneous at constant temperature and pressure, G must be negative. The process
of crystallization results in fewer possible arrangements of ions, so S < 0. We also know that
G H TS
Since G must be negative, and since the entropy term will be positive (TS, where S is negative), then
H must be negative (H < 0). The reaction will be exothermic.

The second law states that the entropy of the universe must increase in a spontaneous process. But the
entropy of the universe is the sum of two terms: the entropy of the system plus the entropy of the
surroundings. One of the entropies can decrease, but not both. In this case, the decrease in system entropy
At the temperature of the normal boiling point the free energy difference between the liquid and gaseous
forms of mercury (or any other substances) is zero, i.e. the two phases are in equilibrium. We can therefore
use Equation 18.10 of the text to find this temperature. For the equilibrium,

Think About It: What assumptions are made? Notice that the given enthalpies and entropies are at
standard conditions, namely 25C and 1.00 atm pressure. In performing this calculation we assume that
H and S do not depend on temperature. The actual normal boiling point of mercury is 356.58C.
Is the assumption of the temperature independence of these quantities reasonable?

For the given reaction we can calculate the standard free energy change from the standard free energies of
formation. Then, we can calculate the equilibrium constant, KP, from the standard free energy change.

Talking involves various biological processes (to provide the necessary energy) that lead to a increase in the
entropy of the universe. Since the overall process (talking) is spontaneous, the entropy of the universe must
increase.
Both (a) and (b) apply to a reaction with a negative G value. Statement (c) is not always true. An
endothermic reaction that has a positive S (increase in entropy) will have a negative G value at high
temperatures.

Lightning supplies the energy necessary to drive this reaction, converting the two most abundant
gases in the atmosphere into NO(g). The NO gas dissolves in the rain, which carries it into the soil
where it is converted into nitrate and nitrite by bacterial action. This fixed nitrogen is a necessary

The process as described involves no increase in the entropy of the universe. According to the second
law of thermodynamics, there must be an increase in the entropy of the universe for a process to occur
spontaneously.

The activity series is correct. The very large value of K for reaction (a) indicates that products are
highly favored; whereas, the very small value of K for reaction (b) indicates that reactants are highly

Since we are dealing with the same ion (K), Equation 18.13 of the text can be written as:
15 mM
S 42.0 J/Kmol
Next, we calculate G at 300C or 573 K, assuming that H and S are temperature independent.
G H TS
G 41.2 103 J/mol (573 K)(42.0 J/Kmol)
G 1.71 104 J/mol
Having solved for G, we can calculate KP.
G RTln KP

Due to the negative entropy change calculated above, we expect that G will become positive at some
temperature higher than 300C. We need to find the temperature at which G becomes zero. This is the
temperature at which reactants and products are equally favored (KP 1).

This calculation shows that at 708C, G 0 and the equilibrium constant KP 1. Above 708C, G is
positive and KP will be smaller than 1, meaning that reactants will be favored over products. Note that the
temperature 708C is only an estimate, as we have assumed that both H and S are independent of
temperature.
Using a more efficient catalyst will not increase KP at a given temperature, because the catalyst will speed
up both the forward and reverse reactions. The value of KP will stay the same.

For a given reaction, G and H would need to be calculated from standard formation values (graphite,
oxygen, and carbon dioxide) first, before plugging into the equation. Also, S would need to be calculated
from standard entropy values.

18.107 q, and w are not state functions. Recall that state functions represent properties that are determined by the
state of the system, regardless of how that condition is achieved. Heat and work are not state functions
because they are not properties of the system. They manifest themselves only during a process (during a
change). Thus their values depend on the path of the process and vary accordingly.

of benzene (80.1C).
