Answer:
-241.826 kJ·mol⁻¹; -146.9 J·K⁻¹mol⁻¹; 664.6 J·K⁻¹mol⁻¹; spontaneous
Explanation:
½O₂(g) + H₂(g) ⟶ H₂O(g)
ΔHf°/kJ·mol⁻¹: 0 0 -241.826
S°/J·K⁻¹mol⁻¹: 205.0 130.6 188.7
1. ΔᵣH
ΔᵣH = products -reactants = -241.826 -(0 + 0) = -241.826 kJ·mol⁻¹
2. ΔᵣS
ΔᵣS = products - reactants = 188.7 - (205.0 + 130.6) = 188.7 - 335.6 = -146.9 J·K⁻¹mol⁻¹
3. ΔS(univ)
4. Spontaneity
ΔG is negative, so the reaction is spontaneous.
Answer:
a. polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents.
Explanation:
Polarity is a phenomenon that has to do with the positive and negative electric (ionic) charges of a molecule. A molecule with distinct positive and electric charge is said to be POLAR. However, water is said to be a universal solvent because it dissolves more substances than any other solvent can.
This solvent property of water is a function of its POLARITY. Polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents. Hence, only polar solutes can dissolve in water (a polar solvent). Hence, in this case, CH3OCH3 (ether) will dissolve in water because it is a POLAR molecule/solute.
