Which of the following statements is CORRECT? The oxidation of Z with O2 is marked by an increase in entropy. O Z cannot be oxidized to ZO because Z is more stable than ZO at 400 °C or any T above it. O The oxidation of Z with O2 is exothermic. O Zo cannot be reduced back to Z at any temperature because reduction of ZO to Z has +AG.

Data are given in Appendix 1 for white phosphorus, P4(s). P4(g) has the following thermodynamic values: Hf=58.9kJ/mol , S=280.0J/kmol . What is the temperature at which white phosphorus sublimes at 1 atm pressure?
Actually, the carbon in CO2(g) is thermodynamically unstable with respect to the carbon in calcium carbonate(limestone). Verify this by determining the standardGibbs free energy change for the reaction of lime,CaO(s), with CO2(g) to make CaCO3(s).
When boron hydrides burn in air, the reactions are very exothermic (a) Write a balanced equation for the combustion of B5H9(g) in air to give B2O3(s) and H2O(g). (b) Calculate the enthalpy of combustion for B5H9(g) (fH = 73.2 kJ/mol), and compare it with the enthalpy of combustion of B2H6 (2038 kJ/mol). (The enthalpy of formation of B2O3(s) is 1271.9 kJ/mol.) (c) Compare the enthalpy of combustion of C2H6(g) with that of B2H6(g). Which transfers more energy as heat per gram?
Comparing the chemistry of carbon and silicon. (a) Write balanced chemical equations for the reactions of H2O() with CH4 (forming CO2 and H2) and SiH4 (forming SiO2 and H2). (b) Using thermodynamic data, calculate the standard free energy change for the reactions in (a). Is either reaction product-favored at equilibrium? (c) Look up the electronegativities of carbon, silicon, and hydrogen. What conclusion can you draw concerning the polarity of CH and SiH bonds? (d) Carbon and silicon compounds with the formulas (CH3)2CO (acetone) and [(CH3)2SiO]n (a silicone polymer) also have quite different structures. Draw Lewis structures for these species. This difference, along with the difference between structures of CO2 and SiO2, suggests a general observation about silicon compounds. Based on that observation, do you expect that a silicon compound with a structure similar to ethene (C2H4) exists?
