QUESTION AND PROBLEMS. Solve the following problems.

1. Use the given standard entropy values to calculate the standard entropy change to convert
hydrogen chloride to chlorine in the given reaction:
4HCl(g) + O2(g) → 2Cl2(g) + 2H2O(g)

S°(J/K•mol): HCl(g) = 186.8

O2(g) = 205
Cl2(g) = 223
H2O(g) = 188.7

2. Predict whether the following reaction leads to an increase or a decrease in entropy.

Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) → AgCl(s)

3. Calculate ∆G° for the combustion of ethane

2C2H6(g) + 7O2(g) → 4CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)

With the following ∆G°f:

C2H6(g) = -32.86 kJ/mol
CO2(g) = -394.4 kJ/mol
H2O(l) = -237.2 kJ/mol

4. From the following ∆H and ∆S values, predict whether the reaction would be spontaneous. If
not, at what temperature might the reaction become spontaneous?

∆H = -126 kJ ∆S = 84 J/K

DIRECTION: Answer the following question comprehensively.

You have learned that in all spontaneous processes, the entropy of the universe
always increases. What does this mean for the future of Earth as well as for the future of
the universe?
