These laws state that energy can only be converted from one form to another, and that the disorder of the universe is always increasing for all spontaneous processes.
What are the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
100
You add a little bit of sodium acetate to an acetic acid solution. How would you expect the addition to affect the equilibrium of acetic acid (HC3H3OO→←H++C3H3OO-)?
You would expect equilibrium to shift to the left, favoring the protonated acid due to the increase in C3H3OO- in solution.
100
Water is technically a weak acid. Would you be able to titrate water with a very strong base? Why or why not?
You would not be able to, because Ka for water is less than 10-8
100
Why is CaCO3 more soluble in water than you would predict from tabulated values?
CO32- is slightly basic, so it can react with water; the anion and cation can also form ion pairs
100
What does it mean when G>0, G<0, and G=0?
G>0; reverse process is spontaneous and is the amount of work necessary for the forward reaction to occur; G<0, forward process is spontaneous and can do work, G=0, process is at equilibrium and no work can be obtained.
200
If enthalpy<0 and entropy<0, would you expect the reaction to be spontaneous?
Spontaneous at low temps, non-spontaneous at high temps
200
Will KC3H3OO be more or less soluble in HCl than in water?
It will be more soluble because the acetate ion is slightly basic and will therefore react with the acidic hydrogen in HCl.

You have 300mL of 0.01M HCl solution. How much 0.05M NaOH solution do you need to reach the equilibrium point?
6.0mL

If the molar solubility of CaF2 at 35oC is 1.24 * 10-3 mol/L, what is the Ksp at this temperature?

When CH3OH(l) is at its normal boiling point, does its entropy increase or decrease?
Goes from (l) -> (g) – entropy increases

ΔH°(CH3OH, g) = -201.2 kJ/mol, ΔS°(CH3OH, g) = 237.6 J/mol-K, ΔG°(CH3OH, g) = -161.9 kJ/mol ΔH°(H2, g) = 0 kJ/mol, ΔS°(H2, g) = 130.58 J/mol-K, ΔG°(H2, g) = 0 kJ/mol ΔH°(C2H6, g) = -84.68 kJ/mol, ΔS°(C2H6, g) = 229.5 J/mol-K, ΔG°(C2H6, g) = -32.89 kJ/mol ΔH°(H2O, g) = -241.82 kJ/mol, ΔS°(H2O, g) = 188.83 J/mol-K, ΔG°(H2O, g) = -228.75 kJ/mol
ΔH° = 2(-241.82) + -84.68 – (0 + 2*-201.2) = -165.92 kJ ΔS° = 2(188.83) + 229.5 – (130.58 + 2*237.6) = 1.38 J/K ΔG° = 2(-228.57) + -32.89 – (0 + 2*-161.9) = -166.23 kJ
