Predict the sign and calculate ΔS° for a reaction. Close Problem Consider the reaction H2CO(g) + O2(g)CO2(g) + H2O(l) Based upon the stoichiometry of the reaction the sign of Sºrxn should be . Using standard thermodynamic data (in the Chemistry References), calculate Sºrxn at 25°C. Sºrxn = J/K•mol

Based upon the stoichiometry of the reaction the sign of Sºrxn should be negative

Explanation:

Consider the reaction:

H2CO(g) + O2(g) --------> CO2(g) + H2O(l)

Using standard thermodynamic data;

Based upon the stoichiometry of the reaction the sign of Sºrxn should be _________ . calculate Sºrxn at 25°C. Sºrxn = J/K•mol

At standard thermodynamic data

= 213.79 J/mol.K

 69.95  J/mol.K

218.95 J/mol.K

 = 205.2 J/mol.K

Based upon the stoichiometry of the reaction the sign of Sºrxn should be negative
