Q20.46 P

Page 917

Given thatΔ³Òsys=-TΔ³§univ, explain how the sign ofΔ³Òsyscorrelates with reaction spontaneity.

Q20.47 P

Page 917

(a) Is an endothermic reaction more likely to be spontaneous at higher temperatures or lower temperatures? Explain.

(b) The change depicted below occurs at constant pressure. Explain your answers to each of the following:

(1) What is the sign of Δ±á?

Q20.48 P

Page 918

With its components in their standard states, a certain reaction is spontaneous only at high T. What do you know about the signs ofrole="math" localid="1663368103423" Δ±áoandΔ³§o? Describe a process for which this is true.

Q20.49 P

Page 918

Q20.4P

Page 916

State qualitatively the relationship between entropy and freedom of particle motion. Use this idea to explain why you will probably never

(a) be suffocated because all the air near you has moved to the other side of the room;

(b) see half the water in your cup of tea freeze while the other half boils.
