5 Chemists use three energy terms, enthalpy, entropy and free energy, to help them make predictions about whether reactions may take place. 12 (a) The table below shows five processes. Each process has either an increase in entropy or a decrease in entropy. For each process, tick () the appropriate box. process increase in entropy decrease in entropy C2H5OH(g) C2H5OH(l) C2H2(g) + 2H2(g) NH4Cl (s) + aq 4Na(s) + O2(g) 2CH3OH(l) + 3O2(g) C2H6(g) NH4Cl (aq) 2Na2O(s) 2CO2(g) + 4H2O(l) [2] (b) At 1 atm (101 kPa) pressure, ice melts into water at 0 C. Complete the table below using the symbols +,or 0 to show the sign of H and S for the melting of ice at 0 C and 1 atm. For each sign, explain your reasoning. energy change sign +,or 0 reasoning H SOCR 2011 [2]<br />
 (c) Much of the hydrogen required by industry is produced by reacting natural gas with steam: 13 CH4(g) + H2O(g) 3H2(g) + CO(g) Standard entropies are given in the table below. substance S o / J K1 mol1 CH4(g) 186 H2O(g) 189 H2(g) 131 CO(g) 198 (i) Calculate the standard entropy change, in J K1 mol1, for this reaction of natural gas with steam. S o =J K1 mol1 [2] (ii) State two large-scale uses for the hydrogen produced. 1.2.[1]OCR 2011 Turn over<br />
 (d) Ammonium chloride, NH4Cl, can dissociate to form ammonia, NH3, and hydrogen chloride, HCl. 14 NH4Cl (s) NH3(g) + HCl (g) At 298 K, H = +176 kJ mol1 and G = +91.2 kJ mol1.Calculate G for this reaction at 1000 K.Hence show whether this reaction takes place spontaneously at 1000 K. Show all your working. G =kJ mol1 [4] [Total: 11]OCR 2011<br />
