Step by step solution

01

Definition of Concept

Solubility: The maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in the solvent at equilibrium is defined as solubility.

Constant of soluble product: For equilibrium between solids and their respective ions in a solution, the solubility product constant is defined. In general, the term "solubility product" refers to water-equilibrium insoluble or slightly soluble ionic substances.

02

Predict the signs of ΔS° , ΔH°and Explain 

(a)

Considering the given information:

The chemical equation for the formation of butane from its constituent elements is shown below.

C4H10(g)+132O2(g)→4 C°¿2(g)+5H2O(g)

One mole of butane reacted with oxygen to give eight moles of CO2and H2O

Predicting entropy Δ³§Â°system:

In this reaction, 1,132moles of gaseous reactants are converted into 9 moles of gaseous product.

Δ³§rxn0=SProducts0-Sreactants0Δ³§rxn°=9-2Δ³§rxn°=7

An increase in the number of moles of gas in this reaction should result in a positive Δ³§Â° value.

Enthalpy as a predictor of Δ±árxno:

Butane combustion results in the release of energy or a negative enthalpy Δ±áo value

03

Calculate  ΔG° by two different methods

(b)

Considering the given information:

The chemical formula for producing butane from its constituent elements is shown below.

C4H10(g)+132O2(g)→4 C°¿2(g)+5H2O(g)

1st method:

Calculate Δ³Òrxno from Δ³Òfovalues of products and reactants,

The Gibbs free energy equation is as follows:

Δ³Òrxn°=∑mΔ³Òf°(Products)-∑nΔ³Òf°(Reactants)

The reaction's free energy change is calculated as follows:

Δ³Òrxn°=[(4molCO2)(Δ³ÒfoofCO2)+(5molH2O)(Δ³ÒfoofH2O)]-[(1molC4H10)(Δ³ÒfoofC4H10)+(12/2molOΔ³Ò°ùײÔ=[(4mol)(-394.4kJ/mol)+(5mol)(-228.60kJ/mol)]-[(1molCC4H10)(-16.7kJ/mol)+(13/2molO2)(0kJ/mol)]

Δ³Òrxn0=-2703.9kJ

As a result, the standard free energy value is Δ³Òrxn0=-2703.9kJ.

2nd Method

Given the reaction,

C4H10(g)+132O2(g)→4 C°¿2(g)+5H2O(g)

CalculateΔ³Òrxno from Δ±árxnoand Δ³§rxnoat 298K

The change in standard enthalpy is,

The change in enthalpy for the reaction is calculated as follows:

Δ±árxn°=∑mΔ±áf(Products)°-∑nΔ±áf(reactants)°Δ±árxno=[(4molCO2)(Δ±árxnoofCO)2)+(5molH2O)(Δ±árxnoofH2O)]-[(1molC4H8)(Δ±árxnoofC4H8)+(13/2molO2)(Δ±árxnoofO2)Δ±árxno=[(1molCO2)(-393.5kJ/mol)+(5molH2O)(-241.826kJ/mol)][(1molC4H8)(-126kJ/mol)+(13/2molO2)(0kJ/mol)]Δ±árxno=-2657.13kJ

The enthalpy change is negative.

As a result, the enthalpyΔ±árxno=-2657.13kJ

Entropy change

Standard entropy change equation is,

Δ³§rxn°=∑mSProducts°-∑nSreactants°

The stoichiometric co-efficient are (m) and (n).

Δ³§rxn°=[(4molCO2)(SoofCO2)+(5molH2O)(SoofH2O)]-[(1molC4H8)(SoofC4H8)+(13/2molO2)(SoofO2)]Δ³§rxno=[(4molCO2)(213.7´³/³¾´Ç±ô×°­)+(5molH2O)(188.72´³/³¾´Ç±ô×°­)][(1molC4H8)(310´³/³¾´Ç±ô×°­)+(1/2³¾´Ç±ô°¿°¿2)(205.0´³/³¾´Ç±ô×°­)±ÕΔ³§rxn°=155.9J/K

Therefore, the (Δ³§rxn°)of the reaction is 155.9J/K

Finally, compute the change in free energy Δ³Òrxno

Standard The equation for free energy change is,

Δ³Òrxno=Δ±árxno-TΔ³§rxno

Free energy change Δ³Òfo

Enthalpy and entropy values calculated are

Δ±árxno=-2657.13kJΔ³§rxno=155.9J/K

These values are entered into the standard free energy equation,

Δ³Òrxno=-2657.13kJ-[(298K)(155.9J/K)(1kJ/103J)]Δ³Òrxno=-2703.588kJ

Therefore, the standard free energy value is Δ³Òrxno=-2704kJ.
