Methanol, a major industrial feedstock, is made by several catalyzed reactions, such as
a) Show that this reaction is thermodynamically feasible.
b) Is it favoured at low or at high temperatures?
c) One concern about using CH3OH as an auto fuel is its oxidation in air to yield formaldehyde, CH2O(g), which poses a health hazard. CalculateC for this oxidation.
Findfor the combustion of methane to carbon dioxide and liquid water. Is the sign ofas expected?
Is each statement true or false? If false, correct it.
(a) All spontaneous reactions occur quickly.
(b) The reverse of a spontaneous reaction is nonspontaneous.
(c) All spontaneous processes release heat.
(d) The boiling of water at and 1 atm is spontaneous.
(e) If a process increases the freedom of motion of the particles of a system, the entropy of the system decreases.

State the first law of thermodynamics in terms of
(a) the energy of the universe.
(b) the creation or destruction of energy;
(c) the energy change of system and surroundings. Does the first law reveal the direction of spontaneous change? Explain.
