    Q16.4.15

    Consider the following reaction at 298 K:

    \[\ce{N2O4}(g)⇌\ce{2NO2}(g) \hspace{20px} K_P=0.142\]

    What is the standard free energy change at this temperature? Describe what happens to the initial system, where the reactants and products are in standard states, as it approaches equilibrium.

    Solution:
    First, find standard free energy
    \[\Delta G^{o}=-kTln(K_{p})\]

    \[\Delta G^{o}=-8.314\frac{J}{mol\cdot k}\cdot 298K\cdot ln(0.142)\]

    \[\Delta G^{o}=4.84\frac{kJ}{mol}\]

    As the sign of standard free energy is positive, the reaction will favor the reactants formation.

    Answer: Standard free energy change equals 4.84 KJ/mol. The reaction shifts toward the left (production of reactants increases while that of products is less). At equilibrium, Q=K and the standard free energy change is 0.

    \(\ce{NH3}(aq)+\ce{H2O}(l)⇌\ce{NH4+}(aq)+\ce{OH-}(aq) \hspace{20px} K_\ce{b}=1.8×10^{−5}\)

    Solution:

    \[K_{b}=\frac{[NH_{4}^{+}][OH^{-}]}{[NH^{3}]}\]

    Answer: [OH-] = 2.88x10^-5 M

    Q13.3.15

    Acetic acid is a weak acid that reacts with water according to this equation:

    \[\ce{CH3CO2H}(aq)+\ce{H2O}(aq)\rightleftharpoons\ce{H3O+}(aq)+\ce{CH3CO2-}(aq)\]

    Will any of the following increase the percent of acetic acid that reacts and produces \(\ce{CH3CO2-}\) ion?

    1. Addition of HCl
    2. Addition of NaOH
    3. Addition of NaCH3CO2

    Solution:

    a. Adding HCl will increase the concentration of H3O+, which make the reaction procees to the left and decrease the percent of acetic acid that reacts and produces \(\ce{CH3CO2-}\) ion

    b. Adding NaOH of OH- will decrease the concentration of H3O^{+} and let the reaction shift to the right, which will increase the percent of acetic acid that reacts and produces \(\ce{CH3CO2-}\) ion

    c. Adding NaCH3CO2 will increase the concentration of CH3CO2- and the reaction will likely shift to the left, which will decrease the percent of acetic acid that reacts and produces \(\ce{CH3CO2-}\) ion

    Answer: The addition of a base, such as NaOH will increase the concentration of CH3CO2- ions

    The metabolism of glucose gives the same products, although the glucose reacts with oxygen in a series of steps in the body.

    1. How much heat in kilojoules can be produced by the metabolism of 1.0 g of glucose?
    2. How many Calories can be produced by the metabolism of 1.0 g of glucose?

    Solution:

    a.Find the amount of heat that is produced by 1.0 g of glucose

    \[q=\Delta H=\frac{1.0 gC_{6}H_{12}O_{6}}{180.156 \frac{g}{mol}C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}}\times (-2816\frac{kJ}{mol})\]
