Question

1. Write the reaction for the evaporation of water in a hot, dry room. Is this reaction spontaneous not? What are the signs of ??,ys and as,ys? 2. Acetic acid, CH3COOH, freezes at 16.6°C and has ??:us-69.0 J/g. Note: fus stands for fusion, wh the change from solid to liquid (melting) a) What is AH (in J/g) for acetic acid freezing? b) what is AH (in J/mol) for acetic acid freezing? c) What is ASuniv at the normal freezing point? d) What is ?Ssur in J K-1 mol 1 for acetic acid freezing at the normal freezing point? e) What is AS,y, in J K1 mol for acetic acid freezing at the normal freezing point?

Explanation / Answer

Ans 1

Reaction for the evaporation of water

H2O(l)?H2O(g)  

Standard free energy for the water vapor

?G = 8.43 kJ/mol

?G > 0

The reaction is non spontaneous.

Since the reaction goes from liquid phase to vapor phase, heat is absorbed during the process.

?H > 0

from liquid phase to vapor phase, disorder of the system increases.

?S > 0
