Find entropy, enthalpy, Gibbs free energy of reaction at 298K. Find if it is exothermic and whether it is spontaneous? C3H8 + 502 -> 3CO2 + 4H2O

Hf (kJ/mol)
C3H8 = -103.85
O2 = 0
C02 = -393.5
H20 = -286

S (J/Mol K)
C3H8 = 269.9
O2 = 205
C02 = 214
H20 = 70

Answer 1

Here's what I get.

You have the following information.

#color(white)(mmmmmmmmm)"C"_3"H"_8"(g)" + "5O"_2"(g)" → "3CO"_2"(g)" + "4H"_2"O(l)"# #Δ_fH"/kJ·mol"^"-1":color(white)(ml) "-103.85" color(white)(mmml)0 color(white)(mmmll)"-393.5" color(white)(mmm)"-286"# #S"/J·K"^"-1""mol"^"-1": color(white)(mml)269.9color(white)(mmm) 205 color(white)(mmmm)214color(white)(mmmmm) 70#

Calculate the enthalpy of reaction

The formula for enthalpy of reaction is

#color(blue)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a) Δ_rH = sumΔ_fH_text(products) - sumΔ_fH_text(reactants)color(white)(a/a)|)))" "#
∴ # Δ_rH = [3("-393.5") + 4("-286") - 1("-103.85")]color(white)(l) "kJ" = "-2221 kJ"#
#ΔH < 0#, so the reaction is exothermic.

Calculate the entropy of reaction

The formula for the entropy of reaction is

#color(blue)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)Δ_rS = sumS_text(products) - sumS_text(reactants)color(white)(a/a)|)))" "#
∴ #Δ_rS = (3×214 + 4×70 - 1×269.9 - 5× 205)color(white)(l) "J/K" = "-373 J/K" #

Calculate the Gibbs free energy change for the reaction

The formula for free energy change is

#color(blue)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)ΔG = ΔH - TΔScolor(white)(a/a)|)))" "#
∴ #Δ_rG = "-2220.65 kJ" - 298.15 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("K"))) × ("-0.3729 kJ"·color(red)(cancel(color(black)("K"^"-1")))) = "-2220.65 kJ" + "111.18 kJ" = "-2109 kJ"#
#ΔG < 0#, so the reaction is spontaneous.

Summary

#Δ_rH = "-2221 kJ"#; exothermic #Δ_rS = "-373 J/K"# #Δ_rG = "-2109 kJ"#; spontaneous

Answer 2

To calculate the entropy, enthalpy, and Gibbs free energy of reaction at 298K, we need the standard molar enthalpies of formation and standard molar entropies for each compound involved in the reaction. With these values, we can apply the appropriate equations to find the desired quantities. Once we have the Gibbs free energy of reaction, we can determine if the reaction is spontaneous by checking if ΔG is negative, and we can determine if it is exothermic by checking if ΔH is negative. Unfortunately, I cannot provide the exact values without access to a database containing standard thermodynamic data. You'll need to look up the specific values for each compound and then perform the calculations accordingly.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
