Answer:
131.5 kJ
Explanation:
Let's consider the following reaction.
CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)
First, we will calculate the standard enthalpy of the reaction (ΔH°).
ΔH° = 1 mol × ΔH°f(CaO(s)) + 1 mol × ΔH°f(CO₂(g)
) - 1 mol × ΔH°f(CaCO₃(s)
)
ΔH° = 1 mol × (-634.9 kJ/mol) + 1 mol × (-393.5 kJ/mol) - 1 mol × (-1207.6 kJ/mol)
ΔH° = 179.2 kJ
Then, we calculate the standard entropy of the reaction (ΔS°).
ΔS° = 1 mol × S°(CaO(s)) + 1 mol × S°(CO₂(g)
) - 1 mol × S°(CaCO₃(s)
)
ΔS° = 1 mol × (38.1 J/mol.K) + 1 mol × (213.8 J/mol.K) - 1 mol × (91.7 J/mol.K)
ΔS° = 160.2 J/K = 0.1602 kJ/K
Finally, we calculate the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction at T = 25°C = 298 K.
ΔG° = ΔH° - T × ΔS°
ΔG° = 179.2 kJ - 298 K × 0.1602 kJ/K
ΔG° = 131.5 kJ
1-pentyne consists of a carbon chain of 5 carbons one with a triple bond. 1-octyne is a carbon chain of 8 carbons with a triple bond at some point. It is known that the longer the carbon chain the higher the boiling point since more energy will be required to break the bonds between carbons. Based on this it is predicted that 1-octyne will have a higher boiling point than 1-pentyne.
Answer:
If one of the reactants is a solid, only the particles at the surface can partake in the reaction. Breaking the reactant into smaller pieces increases the surface and more particles are exposed to the reaction mixture. This results in an increased frequency of collisions and therefore a faster rate of reaction
Reaction:

Magnesium is a stronger reducing agent than copper and is thus able to reduce copper(II) oxide.
Products of the reaction: Magnesium oxide and metallic copper.
