When cobalt(II) chloride is added to pure water, the Co2+ ions are either hydrated to give a pink color, or combined with chlori

de ion to give a blue color, reaching an equilibrium shown
here: Co(H2O)62+ + 4Cl- ↔ CoCl42- + 6H2O

If the forward reaction is exothermic, which statement below describes the change that the system will undergo if the temperature of the solution decreases.

(A) solution will change color
(B) not enough info is given
(C) solution will turn more pink
(D) solution will turn more blue

Answer:

(C) solution will turn more pink

Explanation:

An exothermic reaction increases the temperature of the system and an endothermic reaction decreases the temperature.

In an equilibrium, if the forward reaction is exothermic, the reverse reaction is endothermic. Therefore, the decrease of temperature inicates that the reverse reaction is favored.

The reverse reaction in the example produces the hydrated Co²⁺, which gives a pink color to the solution. Therefore, solution will turn more pink.

If a reaction is exothermic and its entropy change is positive, which statement is true? If a reaction is exothermic and its ent
Serggg [28]

Answer:

  • <em>c. The reaction is spontaneous at all temperatures.</em>

Explanation:

The spontaneity of a reaction can be determined by the thermodynamic property named Gibb's free energy or simply free energy (G).

The change in the free energy of a system is defined as the difference between the increase in enthalpy (ΔH) and the product of the temperature (T) times the increase in entropy (ΔS):

  • ΔG = ΔH - T ΔS

The sign of ΔG tells if a reaction is spontaneous according to this:

  • ΔG < 0, the reaction is spontaneous.
  • ΔG = 0, the reaction is in equilibrium.
  • ΔG > 0, the reaction is not spontaneous.

The question states that a reaction is exothermic, and its entropy change is positive. That means:

  • Exhotermic: ΔH < 0
  • Positive entropy change: ΔS > 0

Remember that the temperature is stated in absolute scale, so T is always positive.

Hence, ΔG = ΔH - T ΔS = (negative) - T (positive) = (negative) + (negative) = negative.

<u>Conclusion</u>: since ΔG is negative, regardless the temperature, you conclude that<em><u> the reaction is spontaneous at all temperatures, which is the option c.</u></em>
