A. Objectives:
1. Measure enthalpy changes of aqueous solutions.
2. Calculate entropy changes.
3. Determine whether the process is exothermic or endothermic.
4. Determine whether the process is spontaneous or non-spontaneous.
B. Materials:
Calculate ΔS for the process using the standard entropy values listed in thermodynamic data table.
Calculate the Gibbs free energy in kJ/mol. Do the calculations in two ways.
After calculating ΔH experimentally and determining ΔS, use those values to calculate ΔG and
the equation, ΔG=ΔH-TΔS
Use standard Thermodynamic VAlues for free energy of formation and the equation, ΔG=
ΣΔGproduct - ΣΔGreactants
Compare the two values obtained.
Calculate ΔS for the process using the standard entropy values, S°, listed in thermodynamic data table.
Calculate Gibbs free energy, in kJ/mol. Do the calculations in two wats, as in Part A and compare the two
values obtained.
