Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given that the standard entropies for A, B, C, and D are 50 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹, 75 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹ and 100 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹ respectively, calculate ΔS_rxn° for the reaction: A + B → C + D.

💡 Hint: Sum entropies of products and subtract the sum of reactants.

Question 2

Explain how an increase in the number of gaseous reactants affects entropy and the spontaneity of a reaction at constant temperature.

💡 Hint: Think about the kinetic energy and freedom of movement in gases.
