It is OK to use your textbook or lecture notes from class, but if you can answers the questions without it that is OK too.

Do not press the RETURN or ENTER key while you are answering these questions. Your browser will interpret either the same as clicking on the Submit key.

Answer all of the questions below. If you do not know an answer enter CNA. However, it will help me the most if you answer each question with your best intuition/idea about what would be a reasonable answer.


First Name:

Last Name:

School:

1. For each of the following reactions predict the sign of S.

a. CS2(l) + 3O2(g) ---> CO2(g) + 2SO2(g)

b. NH4NO2(s) --heat--> N2(g) + 2H2O(g)

c. KNO3(s) --H2O(l)--> K+(aq) + NO3-(aq)

2. Calculate S°rxn for the following reactions. (Here is a table that includes absolute entropies.) (Note: Use the mathematical relationship Watch out, elements have nonzero absolute entropy values. Be sure to check the table above.)

a) C2H5OH(l) + 3O2(g) ---> 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l) J mol-1 K-1

b) H2(g) + F2(g) ----> 2HF(g) J mol-1 K-1

3. Is there anything about the questions that you feel you do not understand? List your concerns/questions.

4. If there is one question you would like to have answered in lecture, what would that question be?
