Question 1

Without doing any calculations, determine whether the standard entropy change, ΔS° is positive or negative for each of the following reactions.

reaction 1: S(s, rhombic) + O2(g) → SO2(g)
reaction 2: 2 SO2(g)+ O2(g) → 2 SO3(g)

◦ ΔS° is positive for both reactions.
◦ ΔS° is negative for both reactions.
◦ ΔS° is positive for reaction 2 but negative for reaction 1.
◦ ΔS° is positive for reaction 1 but negative for reaction 2.

Question 2

Sodium reacts violently with water according to the equation:

2 Na(s) + 2 H2O(l) → 2 NaOH(aq) + H2(g)


The resulting solution has a higher temperature than the water prior to the addition of sodium. What are the signs of ΔH° and ΔS° for this reaction?
◦ ΔH° is negative and ΔS° is negative.
◦ ΔH° is positive and ΔS° is positive.
◦ ΔH° is negative and ΔS° is positive.
◦ ΔH° is positive and ΔS° is negative.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.

Ether was used widely for surgeries but became less popular because of its flammability and its tendency to cause vomiting. In England, it was quickly replaced by chloroform, but this agent caused many deaths and lost popularity.
