1. Calculate the standard entropy change for the following reaction: Cu(s)+1/2 O₂(g) → CuO(s). Given that

S⁰ (Cu(s)) = 33.15 J/K*mol

S⁰ (O₂(g)) = 205.14 J/K*mol

S⁰ (CuO(s)) = 42.5 J/K*mol

• 195.66 J/K.mol

• 93.09 J/K.mol

• -93.09 J/K.mol

• +195.66 J/K.mol

1. Given the following information, calculate ΔG⁰ for the reaction below at 25⁰C:

SnCl₄(l) + 2 H₂0(l) → SnO₂(S) + 4HCl(g),

ΔH⁰=133.0 kJ and ΔS⁰ =401.5 J/K

• -252.6 kJ

• -13.4 kJ

• 13.4 kJ

• 252.6 kJ

Given the following information, calculate ΔG⁰ for the following reaction below at 25⁰ C: 2H₂O₂(l) →2H₂O(l) + O₂(l)

H⁰ (H₂O₂(l)) = -187.5 kJ/mol, S⁰ (H₂O₂(l)) = 109.6 J/K*mol

H⁰ (H₂O(l)) = -285.8 kJ/mol, S⁰ (H₂O(l)) = 69.9 J/K*mol

H⁰ (O₂(l)) = -, S⁰ (O₂(l)) = 205.1 J/K*mol

• -37700 kJ

• -342.6 kJ

• +233.5 kJ

• -233.5 kJ
