Answer: The given reaction is non-spontaneous at low temperatures and spontaneous at high temperatures.

Explanation:

We know that relation between free energy and enthalpy is as follows.

$\Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta S$

As in the given drawing, solid is converting into gas. This means that there is occurring an increase in entropy of the system. This also means that the enthalpy change will also be positive.

Free energy change is negative (spontaneous) at high temperature and free energy change is positive at low temperature.

Hence, we can conclude that the given reaction is non-spontaneous at low temperatures and spontaneous at high temperatures.

Answer:

a) 1,74 molal

b) 37,2 %

c) 0,03

Explanation:

We are going to define sucrose as solute, water as solvent and the mix of both, the solution.

Let´s start with the data:

$Molarity = M = \frac{1,22 mol solute}{lts solution}$

We can assume as a calculus base, 1 liter of solution. So, in 1 liter of solution we have 1,22 moles of solute:

$1 lts solution * \frac{1,22 moles solute}{lts solution}=1,22 moles solute$

Knowing that the molality (m) is defined as mol of solute/kgs solvent, we have to calculate the mass of solvent on the solution. Remember our calculus base (1 lts of solution). In 1 lts of solution we have 1120 grams of solution.

$1 lts solution * \frac{1,12 grs solution}{mL solution}*\frac{1000 mL solution}{1 lts solution} = 1120 grs of solution$

With the molecular weight of solute (<em>Sum of: for carbon = 12*12=144; for hydrogen = 1*22=22 and for oxygen = 16*11=176. Final result = 342 grs per mol</em>), we can obtain the mass of solute:

$1,22 mol solute*\frac{342 grs solute}{1 mol solute} = 417,24 grs solute$

Now, the mass of solvent is: mass solvent = mass of solution - mass of solute. So, we have: 1120 - 417,24 = 702,76 grs of solvent = 0,70276 Kgs of solvent

$molality = m = \frac{1,22 mol solute}{0,70276 kgs solvent}= 1,74 molal$

For b) question we have that the mass percent of solute is hte ratio between the mass of solute and the mass of solution. So,

$%(w/w) = \frac{417,24 grs solute}{1120 grs solution} = 37,2%$

For c) question we have that the mole fraction of solute is the ratio between moles of solute and moles of solution. Let's calculate the moles of solution as follows: <em>Moles solution = moles solute + moles solvent.</em> First we have that the moles of solvent are (remember that the molecular weight of water for this calculus is 18 grs per mol):

$702,76 grs solvent*\frac{1 mol solvent}{18 grs solvent} = 39,04 moles solvent$
