When performing a gram stain, it is necessary to remove crystal violet stain from any gram negative bacteria on the slide. Micro
biologists use a decolorizing solution to accomplish this. A common recipe is equal parts 95% ethanol and acetone. How many mL of water would you need to add if you have 98% ethanol and want to end up with 500 mL of decolorizer?

Answer: for the reaction is -186.75 J/K
Explanation:
Change in entropy () for the given reaction under standard condition is given by-
=
So =
= -186.75 J/K
Answer:
Lowering the temperature typically reduces the significance of the decrease in entropy. That makes the Gibbs Free energy of the reaction more negative. As a result, the reaction becomes more favorable overall.
Explanation:
In an addition reaction there's a decrease in the number of particles. Consider the hydrogenation of ethene as an example.
.
When is added to
(ethene) under heat and with the presence of a catalyst,
(ethane) would be produced.
Note that on the left-hand side of the equation, there are two gaseous molecules. However, on the right-hand side there's only one gaseous molecule. That's a significant decrease in entropy. In other words, .
The equation for the change in Gibbs Free Energy for a particular reaction is:
.
For a particular reaction, the more negative is, the more spontaneous ("favorable") the reaction would be.
Since typically for addition reactions, the "entropy term" of it would be positive. That's not very helpful if the reaction needs to be favorable.
(absolute temperature) is always nonnegative. However, lowering the temperature could help bring the value of
