Check the option(s) in which a chemical reaction is spontaneous (AS univ> 0) only below a certain temperature. There is an increase in entropy from reactants to products, and there is no heat exchange with the surroundings and thus no entropy change in the surroundings. There is a decrease in entropy from reactants to products, but the reaction releases lots of heat to the surroundings, raising the entropy of the surrounding. There is a decrease in entropy from reactants to products, and the reaction absorbs heat from the surroundings, lowering the entropy of the surrounding particles. There is an increase in entropy from reactants to products, but the reaction absorbs heat from the surroundings, lowering the entropy of the surrounding particles. There is an increase in entropy from reactants to products, and the reaction heats up the surroundings.

Limestone is predominantly CaCO3, which can undergo the reaction CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g). We know from experience that this reaction is not spontaneous, yet S for the reaction is positive. How can the second law of thermodynamics explain that this reaction is not spontaneous?
In the thermodynamic definition of a spontaneous process, why is it important that the phrase “continuous intervention” be used rather than just “intervention?”
The deciding factor on why HF is a weak acid and not a strong acid like the other hydrogen halides is entropy. What occurs when HF dissociates in water as compared to the other hydrogen halides?

Use data from Appendix D to calculate the standardentropy change at 25°C for the reaction CH3COOH(g)+NH3(g)CH3NH2(g)+CO2(g)+H2(g) Suppose that 1.00 mol each of solid acetamide, CH3CONH2(s), and water, H2O(l), react to give thesame products. Will the standard entropy change belarger or smaller than that calculated for the reactionin part (a)?

Chemists and engineers who design nuclear power plants have to worry about high-temperature reactions because it is possible for water to decompose. (a) Under what conditions does this reaction occur spontaneously? 2H2O(g) 2H2(g) + O2(g) (b) Under conditions where the decomposition of water is spontaneous, do nuclear engineers have to worry about an oxygen/hydrogen explosion? Justify your answer.
