1. Use the following equations to calculate the standard heat of formation of magnesium nitrate in kilojoules
8Mg(s) + Mg(NO3)2(s) -> Mg3N2(s) + 6MgO(s) ΔH= -3884 KJ
Mg3N2(s) -> 3Mg(s) + N2(g) ΔH = +463 KJ
2MgO(s) -> 2Mg(s) + O2(g) ΔH = +1203KJ
2. Use bond dissociation energies from your text to calculate approximate ΔH for the combustion of ethanol : C2H5OH (l) + 3O2(g) -> 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(g)
3. Predict the sign of ΔS for the following processes :
a. Mixing of hydrogen gas with chlorine gas, ΔS = + or -
b. 2H2(g) + O2(g) -> 2H2O(g), ΔS = + or -
4. Predict whether reactions with given ΔH and ΔS are spontaneous or non spontaneous :
a. ΔH = -50 KJ and ΔS = -120 J/K at 300K
b. ΔH = +50KJ and ΔS = -120 J/K at 500K
