Calculating Delta S in Reactions

In this video, Jeremy Krug explains how to calculate the change in entropy (Delta S) for chemical reactions. He begins by reviewing the concept of entropy and introduces the formula for calculating Delta S, which involves subtracting the sum of the entropies of reactants from the sum of the entropies of products. Jeremy provides a detailed example using thermodynamic constants to calculate Delta S for a specific reaction. He also discusses how to predict the sign of Delta S based on the states of reactants and products. The video concludes with a preview of the next topic, thermodynamic favorability.

What is the main focus of this video tutorial?

• Understanding Gibbs free energy.

• Calculating numerical values for change in enthalpy.

• Predicting the sign of Delta S for chemical reactions.

How is the calculation of Delta S similar to that of Delta H?

• Both involve multiplying by the number of moles.

• Both involve subtracting the sum of reactants from the sum of products.

• Both involve the sum of entropies of products.

• Both involve the sum of enthalpies of reactants.

In the example reaction, what is the entropy value for carbon monoxide gas?

• 5.7 J/mol·K

• 188.5 J/mol·K

• 197.4 J/mol·K

• 130.7 J/mol·K

What is the calculated Delta S for the example reaction?

• 130.7 J/mol·K

• 197.4 J/mol·K

• 328.15 J/mol·K

• 133.5 J/mol·K

Why is the Delta S for the example reaction predicted to be positive?

• Because the products are all solids.

• Because the reactants are all gases.

• Because the reactants are a solid and a gas, and the products are all gases.

• Because the products are a solid and a gas, and the reactants are all gases.

What does a positive Delta S indicate about a reaction?

• The reaction decreases in entropy.

• The reaction is exothermic.
