An exothermic reaction occurs spontaneously ,why?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Delvig [45]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

See below  

Step-by-step explanation:

An exothermic reaction tends to occur spontaneously because the products are more stable than the reactants.

Nature tries to get to the lowest energy state.

The standard free energy of formation, ΔG∘f, of a substance is the free energy change for the formation of one mole of the subst
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

B. 2 Na(s) + O₂(g) → Na₂O₂(s); ΔG∘f=−451.0 kJ/mol

D. 2 SO(g) + O₂(g) → 2 SO₂(g); ΔG°f=−600.4 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The spontaneity of a reaction  is given by the value of the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction (ΔG°rxn). The more negative is the ΔG°rxn, the more spontaneous is a reaction.

The ΔG°rxn can be calculated using the following expression:

ΔG°rxn = ∑np × ΔG°f(products) − ∑nr × ΔG°f(reactants)

By definition, the standard Gibbs free energy of formation of simple substances in their most stable state is zero. That is why, in the reaction of formation of a compound ΔG°rxn = ΔG°f(product).

<em>Based on the standard free energies of formation, which of the following reactions represent a feasible way to synthesize the product? </em>

<em>     A. N₂(g) + H₂(g) → N₂H₄(g); ΔG°f=159.3 kJ/mol. </em>

<em>     </em>Not feasible. ΔG°rxn = ΔG°f(product) > 0.

    <em>B. 2 Na(s) + O₂(g) → Na₂O₂(s); ΔG°f=−451.0 kJ/mol</em>

    Feasible. ΔG°rxn = ΔG°f(product) < 0.

    <em>C. 2 C(s) + 2 H₂(g) → C₂H₄(g); ΔG°f=68.20 kJ/mol</em>

    Not feasible. ΔG°rxn = ΔG°f(product) > 0.

    <em>D. 2 SO(g) + O₂(g) → 2 SO₂(g); ΔG°f=−600.4 kJ/mol</em>

    Feasible. ΔG°rxn = ΔG°f(product) < 0.

<h3>What are hydrophilic substances?</h3>

The term hydrophilic substances is used to describe the substances that could dissolve in water. They are those substances that are water soluble. Somehow, the substances must be polar because in chemistry like dissolves like.

The hydrophobic substances are those substances that do not dissolve in water. They are nonpolar and interact with other nonpolar substances.
