The forward reaction of C (diamond) -> C (graphite) is spontaneous at 298 K

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Gibbs free energy is the maximum possible work given by chemical reactions at constant pressure and temperature. Gibbs free energy can be used to determine the spontaneity of a reaction

If the Gibbs free energy value is <0 (negative) then the chemical reaction occurs spontaneously. If the change in free energy is zero, then the chemical reaction is at equilibrium, if it is> 0, the process is not spontaneous

Free energy of reaction (G) is the sum of its enthalpy (H) plus the product of the temperature and the entropy (S) of the system

Can be formulated: (at any temperature)

$\large{\boxed{\bold{\Delta G=\Delta H-T.\Delta S}}}$

or at (25 Celsius / 298 K, 1 atm = standard)

ΔG ° reaction = ΔG ° f (products) - ΔG ° f (reactants)

Under standard conditions:

∆G ° = ∆H ° - T∆S °

The value of °H ° can be calculated from the change in enthalpy of standard formation:

∆H ° (reaction) = ∑H ° (product) - ∑ H ° (reagent)

The value of ΔS ° can be calculated from standard entropy data

∆S ° (reaction) = ∑S ° (product) - ∑ S ° (reagent)

If we look at the standard free Gibbs energy for the transformation from diamond to graphite at 298 K:

∆G ° rxn = -2.90 kJ

then a negative value indicates that reaction

C (diamond) -> C (graphite) occurs spontaneously (forward reaction)

The gibbs free energy of the reaction of diamond to graphite is equal to -2.90 kJ/mol. The free energy is negative which means that the reaction is spontaneous. Therefore, the forward reaction is favored. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

A galvanic cell at a temperature of 42°C is powered by the following redox reaction:

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

1.99V

Explanation:

Balanced redox reaction equation:

3CU2+(aq) + 2Al(s) ------> 3Cu(s) + 2Al3+(aq)

E°cell= E°cathode- E°anode

E°cell= 0.34-(-1.66)

E°cell= 2.0V

From Nernst equation:

E= E°cell - 0.0592/n logQ

E= 2.0 - 0.0592/6 log [3.43]/[1.63]

E= 2.0- 0.0032

E= 1.99V

What change would you expect on the rate of the SN2 reaction of 1-iodo-2-methylbutane with cyanide ion if the nucleophile concen

n200080 [17]

Answer:

no effect

Explanation:

In an SN2 reaction, the mechanism is bi-molecular and first order in both the alkyl halide and the nucleophile.

Hence the rate of reaction is;

Rate = k [1-iodo-2-methylbutane] [cyanide ion]

Given that it is a bimolecular reaction, if we double the concentration of 1-iodo-2-methylbutane and the concentration of the cyanide ion is halved, the rate of reaction remains the same.

Students in a lab used a hot plate to boil water. Which of the following illustrations best represents the change in the movemen

Digiron [165]

The second illustration is the best representation of the change in the movement of particles as the temperature of the water changes.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The second option perfectly represents the boiling of water. As when the temperature is increased, the water molecules gain energy to move faster, thus their kinetic energy of the atoms will be more. This will lead to more freely movement of all the atoms of the water.

And as boiling leads to transformation from liquid state to gaseous state, so the increase in the distance between atoms and molecules occurs in the gaseous state. Thus, the second illustration is best suitable for representing the boiling of water.

As on increasing temperature of the water, the distance between the molecules is increasing in the second illustration while the other illustration shows the decrease in the distance between the molecules. So, the second illustration is the best representation of the change in the movement of particles as the temperature of the water changes.
