Solutions:

1: Increase the solubility by decreasing the amount of product. Amount of [F- ] would decrease if acid, such as HNO3, was added.

2: At or near equilibrium means D G = 0!

3: D S is negative since there are more moles of gaseous reactions that products. With a negative entropy change - TD S will be positive and at high temperature will be greater than D H. At low temperature this term will be small and the reaction is enthalpy driven.

4: Li+ and F- are favored; D G should be positive and cell voltage is negative.

5: Anode is a solid substance at which oxidation occurs. Iron is oxidized from +2 to +3 state; a solid electrode of some other material is needed. Pt is usually used.

6: The presence of chloride ion decreases the solubility; the presence of cyanide increases the solubility and does so by a lot more (note the large Kf and squared dependence of cyanide concentration.

7: An example of the common ion effect.

8: This is just like the problem in class and in the book; use the pH to determine [S2- ]. Substitute into solubility equation and determine zinc concentration.

1. [S2- ]
2. [Zn2+]

9: The part of the mixture that is in the perfect crystalline state does not add to the total entropy. This means that the total entropy is due to the other state; comparison of the entropy for one mole of that state to the entropy of one mole of the mixture gives the entropy of the imperfect crystalline form.

S = R ln 4 = 11.5 J/mol

10: In class we solved a problem much like this. Cadmium is in the +2 oxidation state in this compound; this means that n =2.

11: This is nearly the same problem we worked in class right before the exam! Determine the lead concentration when the chloride starts to precipitate; use this concentration in the other equilibrium to determine the molarity of iodide.

1. Lead concentration
2. Iodide concentration

12: Determine the work and add it to the heat involved in the reaction.

D U = q - PD V = q - D nRT

13: Remember the relationship discussed in class for free energy change at non-standard state conditions, i.e., . You are given T and K; determine Q from given concentrations.

14: From what is given we should realize that hydrogen is being oxidized and silver ions are being reduced. Since the hydrogen electrode is our reference point, we know that the Eo for the cathode is zero. This gives . Use Nernst equation to determine the hydrogen ion concentration and then convert to pH.

15: Determine DHo and DSo and from these DGo.

D Ho = [3(- 285.8) + 6(- 393.5)] - [7.5(0) + 1(49.0)] = - 3267.4 kJ

D So = {[3(69.94) + 6(213.7)] - [7.5(205.0) + 1(172.8)]}/1000 = - 0.218 kJ

D G = D Ho - TD So = - 3267.4 kJ - 298(0.218 kJ) = - 3202 kJ
