Question
1) Select all the processes below that are SPONTANEOUS.
Freezing of water at 10°C
Corrosion of iron metal (rust)
Expansion of gas to fill the available volume
Boiling of gasoline at 25°C and 1 atm pressure
2)Select all the processes below that are SPONTANEOUS.
Freezing of water at -5°C
Dissolving sugar in hot coffee
Compression of a gas from a large volume to a small volume
Uniform mixing of bromine vapor and nitrogen gas
3) Arrange the following in order of increasing entropy (low entropy-1 to high entropy-3)
- 1. 2. 3.
H2O(l) at 80°C
- 1. 2. 3.
H2O(s)
- 1. 2. 3.
H2O(l) at 30°C
Freezing of water at 10°C
Corrosion of iron metal (rust)
Expansion of gas to fill the available volume
Boiling of gasoline at 25°C and 1 atm pressure
Explanation / Answer
1) Select all the processes below that are SPONTANEOUS.
Freezing of water at 10°C = nonspontaneous, Since it is above freezing point
Corrosion of iron metal (rust) This is spontaneous with time, since Iron has a lower potential than H2O + O2 equilibrium
Expansion of gas to fill the available volume = This is spontaneous, accoridng to kinetic gas theory
Boiling of gasoline at 25°C and 1 atm pressure = this is not spontaneous, BP of gasoline is higher
Q2.
2)Select all the processes below that are SPONTANEOUS.
Freezing of water at -5°C : this is spontanoues, since it is below freezing point
Dissolving sugar in hot coffee spontanoues, since sugar is soluble
Compression of a gas from a large volume to a small volume false, this violates entropy increase
Uniform mixing of bromine vapor and nitrogen gas True, in order to make more chaotic mixture, this is spontaneous
Q3
solids < liquida
solid < liquid at 30 C < liquid at 80 C
Entropy is a functigon of Temperature
