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

Calculate ΔH°, ΔS° , and  ΔG° per mole

(a)

The reaction of H2 with O2 to give H2O formation is,

H2(g)+12O2(g)→H2O(g)

The coefficient are written this way instead of

2H2(g)+O2(g)→2H2O(g)

The specific thermodynamic values (per1molH2) not per 2molH2.

Standard enthalpy change is

Δ±áoFormation of values,

H2(g)=0kJ/molO2(g)=0kJ/molH2O(g)=-241.826kJ/mol

The enthalpy change for the reaction is calculated as follows,

Δ±árxn°=∑mΔ±áf(Products)°-∑nΔ±á°f(reactants)Δ±árxn°=[(1mol2O)(Δ±áf°ofH2O)]

-[(1molH2)(Δ±áf°fofH2)+(1/2molO2)(Δ±áf°ofO2)]Δ±árxn°=[(1molH2O)(-241.826kJ/mol)]-[(1molH2)(0kJ/mol)+(1/2molO2)(0kJ/mol)]Δ±árxn°=-241.826kJ

The enthalpy change is negative.

Hence, the enthalpy (Δ±árxn°)changesis-241.826kJ.

Entropy change Δ³§Â°system

Calculate the change in entropy for this reaction as follows,

Δ³§rxn°=∑mSProducts0-∑nSreactants0Δ³§rxn°=[(1molH2O)(S°ofH2O)]-[(1molH2)(SoofN2)+(1/2molO2)(SoofO2)]Δ³§rxn°=[(1molH2O)(188.72´³/³¾´Ç±ô×°­)]-[(1³¾´Ç±ô±á2)(130.6´³/³¾´Ç±ô×°­)+(1/2molO2)(205.0´³/³¾´Ç±ô×°­)]Δ³§Â°rxn=-44.38=-44.4J/KΔ³§rxn°=-0.0444kJ/K

Hence, the (Δ³§rxn0)of the reaction is -44.4J/K

Calculate the Free energy change Δ³Òrxno is,

Standard Free energy change equation is,

Δ³Òrxno=Δ±árxno-TΔ³§rxno

Free energy change Δ³Òfo

Enthalpy and entropy values are

Δ±árxno=-241.826Δ³Òrxno=-0.0444kJ/K

These values are plugging above standard free energy equation,

Δ³Òrxno=(-241.826kJ)-[(298K)(-0.04438kJ/K)]=-228.6008kJ/molΔ³Òrxno=-228.6kJ

Therefore, the given reaction standard free energy value is -228.6kJ.

03

Explain the spontaneity of this reaction is dependent on T

(b)

Given reaction,

2H2(g)+O2(g)→2H2O(g)

This reaction is does not dependent on temperature T, because enthalpy and values are negative.

This reaction will become non-spontaneous at higher temperature because the positive(-TΔ³§) term becomes larger than negative Δ±á term. Further in this reaction.

04

Find at what temperature does the reaction become spontaneous

(c)

Given reaction,

2H2(g)+O2(g)→2H2O(g)

The reaction becomes spontaneous below the temperature where Δ³Òrxno=0

Consider the following free energy equation,

Δ³Òrxno=0=Δ±árxno-TΔ³§rxno-----[1]Δ±árxno=TΔ³§rxn°------[2]

Rearrange equation (2) to calculate temperature T,

T=Δ±árnnoΔ³§rano

Hence,

T=-241.826kJ-0.04438kJ/K=5448.986°Õ=5.45×103K

At temperature become above 7281.45K, this reaction is non-spontaneous. Because both enthalpy Δ±árxnoand entropy Δ³§rxnovalues are negative, the reaction becomes non-spontaneous calculated temperature T.
