For the reaction what are the signs of ?
Since the given reaction
represents the formation of bonds, therefore energy is released i.e. ∆H is –ve, further 2 moles of atoms have greater randomness than 1 mole of molecules. Hence randomness decreases, i.e. ∆S is < 0 i.e. negative.
Prove that in a reversible process:
∆(system) + ∆S(surroundings) = 0
Or
Prove that there is no net change in entropy in a reversible process.
What do you understand by:
(i) The entropy of fusion?
(ii) The entropy of vapourisation ?
You are given normal boiling points and standard enthalpies of vapourisation. Calculate the entropy of vapourisation of liquids listed below:
Liquid
Calculate the entropy change of n-hexane when 1 mole of it evaporates at 341.7 K(∆Hvap = 29.0 kJ mol–1).
What are the two tendencies which determine the feasibility of process? How are the two related to each other?
