001 4.0 points Which one of the processes listed below (if any) have a positive value for ∆S?
Explanation: Evaporation is liquid to gas which has a +∆S value. Freezing and condensation have negative values for ∆S.
002 4.0 points Calculate the standard reaction enthalpy (∆H rxn◦ ) for the final stage in the production of nitric acid, when nitrogen dioxide dissolves in and reacts with water:
3NO 2 (g) + H 2 O(ℓ) → 2HNO 3 (aq) + NO(g)

003 4.0 points What is the change in entropy (∆S) for the heating of 20.0 grams of methanol (CH 3 OH, liquid) from 34◦C to 62◦C?
∆S = m Cs ln
∆S = 20(2.533) ln(335/307) = 4. 42
004 4.0 points Consider a chemical reaction that is endother- mic and has a negative change in entropy. Which of the following is/are true? I) ∆Suniv is negative at all temperatures. II) This reaction will reach equilibrium when T = ∆H/∆S.
Methyl tert-butyl ether or MTBE is an oc- tane booster for gasoline. The combustion of 0.9211 grams of MTBE (C 5 H 12 O(ℓ), 88. g/mol) is carried out in a bomb calorimeter. The calorimeter’s hardware has a heat capac- ity of 1.540 kJ/◦C and is filled with exactly 2.022 L of water. The initial temperature was 26.336◦C. After the combustion, the temper- ature was 29.849◦C. Analyze this calorimeter data and determine the molar internal energy of combustion (∆U ) for this octane booster.
Explanation: ∆T = 29. 849 − 26 .336 = 3. 513 ◦ Ccal = [2022(4.184) + 1540 ]/ = 10.00 kJ/◦C qcal = 10(3.513) = 35.130 kJ moles = 0.9211/88.15 = 0.01045 mol ∆U = -35.130 kJ / 0.01045 mol = -3362 kJ/mol
008 4.0 points Which of the following statements is true?
Explanation: .
009 4.0 points Consider a system where 2.50 L of ideal gas expands to 6.25 L against a constant external pressure of 330 torr. Calculate the work (w) for this system.
Explanation: Convert torr to atm, and then convert an- swer in L·atm to joules. The answer will be negative due to expansion of the gas. w = −P ∆V = −(330/760)(3. 75 L) w = − 1 .628 L atm × 101 .325 J/(L atm) = −165 J
010 4.0 points The oxidation of sugar to carbon dioxide and water is a spontaneous chemical reac- tion. Since we know that reactions that occur spontaneously in one direction cannot occur spontaneously in the reverse direction, how can we understand photosynthesis?
Explanation: .
011 4.0 points When water condenses, what are the signs for q, w, and ∆Ssys, respectively?
Explanation:
012 4.0 points The two reactions shown below are both en- dothermic. For which reaction is ∆H < ∆U? N 2 (g) + O 2 (g) → 2NO(g) 2NO(g) + O 2 (g) → 2NO 2 (g)
Explanation: .
013 4.0 points A system that can exchange energy but not
matter with the surroundings is termed:
014 4.0 points What is responsible for the solubility of sub- stances that dissolve endothermically?
015 4.0 points Calculate the approximate boiling point of chloroform, CHCl 3 , given the following data: ∆Hvap = 31.4 kJ mol−^1 ∆Svap = 93.6 J mol−^1 K−^1
Explanation: In general for any process:
∆Ssurr =
−∆Hsys Tsurr
This is because the heat flow in the surround- ings is just the opposite of the heat flow for the system (qsurr = −qsys and at constant pressure the heat is equal to ∆H.
therefore ∆Ssurr = − 31000 / 298 = −104 J/K
021 4.0 points For the combustion reaction of ethylene (C 2 H 4 )
C 2 H 4 + 3 O 2 → 2 CO 2 + 2 H 2 O

022 4.0 points The absolute entropy of a system (S mea- sured in J/K) is related to the number of microstates in that system. Consider the three processes listed below. Which one(s) will result in an increase in the number of microstates in the system?
I) The temperature of a gas is raised by 3 ◦C.
II) A fixed amount of gas is allowed to ex- pand to a slightly larger volume.
III) The total number of gas molecules in a system is reduced to a smaller number.
Explanation: Raising the temperature will always add to the number of available energy states in a system. More volume allows more states as well. Reducing the number of molecules however, will lower the number of microstates.
023 4.0 points 2.26 g of liquid water at 23.5 ◦C was com- pletely converted to ice at 0 ◦C. How much heat was (absorbed/released) by the system during this process?
Explanation: for 1 gram (cooling + freezing): 23.5(4.184) + 334 = 432.324 J/g scale up to 2.26 g : 432.324(2.26) = 977.052 J = 977 J released
024 4.0 points You have two liquids of identical mass, and both with initial temperatures of 15◦C. One is ethanol, C 2 H 5 OH, with a specific heat of 2.46 J/g◦C and the other is benzene, C 6 H 6 , with a specific heat of 1.74 J/g◦C. If both liquids absorb the same amount of heat, which one will have the highest final temperature? Assume that neither liquid reaches its boiling point.
Explanation: Temperature rise (∆T ) is inversely propor- tional to the heat capacity.
q mCs Therefore, because benzene has a smaller heat capacity, Cs, it will have the larger tem- perature rise.
