Answer:

ΔH° = -67.9 kJ

ΔS° = 536.7 J/K = 0.5367 kJ/K

ΔG° = -227.8 kJ

the reaction is spontaneous at all temperatures

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Temperature = 25.0 °C

ΔH°f(glucose) = - 1274.5 kJ/ mol

ΔH°f(C2H5OH) = -277.7 kJ/mol

ΔH°f(CO2) = -393.5 kJ/mol

S°(glucose) = 212.1 J/ K)

S°(C2H5OH) = 160.7 J/K

S°(CO2) = 213.7 J/K

Step 2: The balanced equation

C6H12O6(s) → 2 C2H5OH(l) + 2 CO2(g)

Step 3: Calculate ΔH°

ΔH° = 2*ΔH°f(C2H5OH) + 2ΔH°f(CO2) - ΔH°f(glucose)

ΔH° = 2*(-277.7 kJ) + 2*(-393.5 kJ) - (-1274.5 kJ)

ΔH° = -555.4 kJ + (-787 kJ) +1274.5 kJ)

ΔH° = -67.9 kJ

Step 4: Calculate ΔS°

ΔS° = 2*S°(C2H5OH)  + 2*S°(CO2) - S°(glucose)

ΔS° = 2*(160.7 J/K) + 2(213.7 J/K) - 212.1 J/K

ΔS° = 321.4 + 427.4 J/K - 212.1 J/K

ΔS° = 536.7 J/K = 0.5367 kJ/K

Step 5: Calculate ΔG°

ΔG° =ΔH° - T*ΔS°

ΔG° = -67.9 kJ - 298K * 0.5367 kJ/K

ΔG° = -227.8 kJ

Since ΔS° is positive and  ΔH° is negative, ΔG° will be negative

This means ΔG° is negative at all temperature.

A negative ΔG° means the reaction is spontaneous at all temperatures

At 700 K the equilibrium constant KC for the reaction between NO(g) and O2(g) forming NO2(g) is 8.7 × 106. The rate constant for
VMariaS [17]

Answer : The value of the rate constant for the forward reaction at 700 K is, 4.70\times 10^6

Explanation :

The given chemical equilibrium reaction is:

NO(g)+O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons NO_2(g)

The expression for equilibrium constant is:

K_c=\frac{[NO_2]}{[NO][O_2]}

The expression for rate of forward and backward reaction is:

R_f=K_f[NO][O_2]

and,

R_b=K_b[NO_2]

As we know that at equilibrium rate of forward reaction is equal to rate of backward reaction.

R_f=R_b

K_f[NO][O_2]=K_b[NO_2]

\frac{K_f}{K_b}=\frac{[NO_2]}{[NO][O_2]}

\frac{K_f}{K_b}=K_c

Given:

K_c=8.7\times 10^6

K_b=0.54M^{-1}s^{-1}

Now put all the given values in the above expression we get:

\frac{K_f}{K_b}=K_c

\frac{K_f}{0.54}=8.7\times 10^6

K_f=4.70\times 10^6

Therefore, the value of the rate constant for the forward reaction at 700 K is, 4.70\times 10^6

Positron emission = emission of a positron and a neutrino when a proton is convert into a neutron. The total number of particles in the nucleus doesn't change, -1 proton +1 neutron

It's a spontaneous reaction for some nucleus.

eg:

Positron = e+

Neutrino=ve

O-15 --> N-15 + e+ +ve

Electron capture= A nucleus absorb an electron while a proton is convert in a neutron and emit a neutrino. The total number of particles in the nucleus doesn't change, -1 proton +1 neutron

eg:

Al-26 +e- --> Mg-26 + ve

Electron capture and positron emission are two mechanisms to explain the decay of some unstable isotopes. Electron capture is usually observed when the energy difference between the initial and final state is low. Mainly because of the larger amount of kinetic energy need for the expulsion two particles with the positron emission mechanism.
