Calculating Entropy Changes in the Surroundings
Показать описание
Chapter 19 Slide 36 Example Calculation
Consider the combustion of propane gas:
C3H8(g) + 5 O2(g) produces 3 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(g) ΔHrxn = –2044 kJ
a. Calculate the entropy change in the surroundings when this reaction occurs at 25 °C.
b. Determine the sign of the entropy change for the system.
c. Determine the sign of the entropy change for the universe. Is the reaction spontaneous?
