Free Energy Question

Hi,

Hydrogen peroxide can be prepared in several ways. One method is the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, another method is the reaction between water and oxygen. Given the ?G°rxn values for each reaction, which method (reaction 1 or 2) requires less energy under standard conditions?

1. H2(gas) + O2(gas) <---> H2O2(liquid) ?G°rxn = -120.4 kJ
2. H2O(liquid) + 1/2 O2(gas) <---> H2O2(liquid) ?G°rxn = +116.7 kJ

Would the answer be reaction 2 because it is lower in magnitude? I know that a negative free energy value indicates a spontaneous reaction and a positive value a nonspontaneous reaction but is the sign significant in this case?



?G = ?G° + RTln(Q)
?G = -72.6 kJ + (0.008314 kJ mol- K-)(298 K)(ln 32.4)
?G = -72.6 + 8.6174 = -63.98 kJ

I am not sure about my approach to this question. Can anyone confirm if I am on the right track?
Thanks. All help Is very much appreciated.

dilute of HNO3

Hello guys

Please excused my english skills. I am from germany.

Currently I try to dilute or better create a 0,1 mol/l HNO3 acid. My parent substance is a 53% HNO3 whitout other data.

I need to run a electrolysis a 0,1 mol/l HNO3. Maybe my chemestry skills are very low, althougt I have a degree in a chemeststy similar profession. But I today I work in a other job, so that my chemestry skills fall day by day.

HNO3 = M = 63g/mol
W = 53%

But I have no idea how it goes on? Can anybody tell me, how I can fix this problem?

Precipitate with Si

Elemental silicon is oxidized by O2 to give a compound
which dissolves in molten Na2CO3. When this solution is
treated with aqueous hydrochloric acid, a precipitate
forms. What is the precipitate?
(A) SiH4 (B) SiCO3 (C) SiO2 (D) SiCl4

The answer is (C). I'm just very confused about what happens here. I thought that after elemental silicon is oxidized (the first step), SiO2 would be produced...but I have no idea if that's correct. I don't know what the reaction with HCl has to do with anything either. Could someone guide me through what happens after each reaction? Thanks in advance!

Why do different isomers have a different enthalpy of combustion?

I did an experiment in class and found that different isomers gave me different enthalpies of combustion. Why is this? I used Butan-1-ol, Butan-2-ol, 2-methylpropan-1-ol and 2-Methylpropan-2-ol.

Thanks.

Conetration/Percent by mass

A solution is mad containing 22.8g of magnesium nitrate per 325g of water.
What is the weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute?

I have tried twice to answer this and I don't seem to be getting it right. I know that for weight weight % you divide the two weights and then multiply by 100 to get the percent, but it's still incorrect.

Chemical Equilibrium: Position Shifts and Concentration Changes

Hi there,

My questions are in relation to the following system:

NaOH(s) <> Na (aq) + OH (aq) + energy

When NaCl (or just Na) is added:
i) Does the equilibrium shift to the left still despite the reactants being a solid?
ii) Does the concentration of OH reduce as a result of the equilibrium shifting to the left even though it isn't technically being consumed to form anything (as NaOH is solid)?

Thanks in advance.

Help Please! Redox Reactions!

Quickly wondering

What is oxidized and what is reduced as well as how many electrons are gained/lost by the elements in this redox reaction?
2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O + energy

Equilibrium and other calculations

Need help with two question please. If they can be done before 7 pm (CST) on March 1 2017...pleasee

1.What is the concentration of Fe3+ (after mixing but before reacting) in a solution made with 3.17 mL of 0.0621 M Fe(NO3)3 and 3.55 mL of 0.0235 M KSCN? Please include units in your answer.

2. A reaction mixture contains an initial concentration of 0.00617 M SCN- (after mixing, before reacting). At equilibrium, the concentration of FeSCN2+ is 0.00253 M. What is the equilibrium concentration of SCN-? Please include units in your answer. Please put your answer in decimal form.

Gas Laws Lab

Mass of Mg: .0403g
Room Pressure: 3.021 Hg x 2.45cm/1in x 10mm/1cm
Volume of H2 gas (convert to liters): 63.5 ml--->.635L
Room Temperature: 297.9 C°
Water vapor Pressure (atm): 23.8 - 760= 0.0313

1. Determine the partial pressure of H2 by subtracting the water vapor pressure from the room pressure.
2. Using the partial pressure for H2 from question #1, use the ideal gas law to determine the number of moles of H2 actually collected
3. Determine the theoretical yield, in moles pf H2, based on the Mg being the limiting reactant.
4. Determine the % yield for H2

Note: I am new to the forum. I just wanted to confirm that I have attempted these and have tried to get pictures of my work but was unable to do so. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You
