A reaction has both positive ΔS° and ΔH° values. From this information, it can be concluded that the reaction A.) can be spontaneous at any temperature. B.) cannot be spontaneous at any temperature. C.) cannot be spontaneous at high temperatures. D.) can be spontaneous only at low temperatures. E.) can be spontaneous only at high temperatures.
The correct answer is (E). For this problem, it is quite essential to know the equation ΔG = ΔH – TΔS. With a positive value of ΔS, the – TΔS term favors spontaneity. But at low temperatures, its contribution will be small. Hence, the ΔH will predominate and the reaction will be non-spontaneous (ΔG = positive). However, at higher temperatures, the magnitude of the – TΔS term increases and can overwhelm the positive ΔH term. In this case, the – TΔS predominates and the reaction is spontaneous (ΔG = negative) at high temperatures.

2Al (s) + 3Cl2 (g) à 2AlCl3 (s) The reaction above is not spontaneous under standard conditions, but becomes spontaneous as the temperature decreases toward absolute zero. Which of the following is true at standard conditions? A.) ΔS and ΔH are both negative. B.) ΔS and ΔH are both positive. C.) ΔS is negative, and ΔH is both positive. D.) ΔS is positive, and ΔH is both negative. E.) ΔS and ΔH are both equal to zero.
The correct answer is (A). For this problem, it is quite essential to know the equation ΔG = ΔH – TΔS. If the reaction is spontaneous only when the temperature is very low, then ΔG is only negative when T is very small. This can only happen when ΔH is negative (which favors spontaneity) and ΔS is negative (which favors nonspontaneity). A very small value for T will eliminate the influence of ΔS.

An equilibrium mixture of the reactants is placed in a sealed container at 150°C. The amount of the products may be increased by which of the following changes? raising the temperature of the container increasing the volume of the container adding 1 mol of C(s) to the container A)II only B)I and II C)I only D)II and III E)III only
B-The addition or removal of some solid, as long as some remains some present, will not change the equilibrium. An increase in volume will cause the equilibrium to shift towards the side with more moles of gas (right). Raising the temperature of an endothermic process will shift the equilibrium to the right. Any shift to the right will increase the amounts of the products.

The slow rate of a particular chemical reaction might be attributed to which of the following? A) a low activation energy B) a high activation energy C) the presence of a catalyst D) the temperature is high E) the concentration of the reactants are high
B—Slow reactions have high activation energies. High activation energies are often attributed to strong bonds within the reactant molecules. All the other choices give faster rates.

All of the following may serve as reducing agents, EXCEPT: A) Mg B) Cs C) Fe2+ D) MnO4– E) Br–
D—For a substance to serve as a reducing agent, it must be capable of being oxidized. The manganese, in the MnO4–, is already in its highest oxidation state, so it could not be oxidized. All other answers contain a substance that may be oxidized.
