Using the thermodynamic information in the ALEKS Data tab, calculate the standard reaction entropy of the following chemical reaction: Round your answer to zero decimal places. N2 O2 yields NO2

Answer:

-122 J/K

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced reaction.

N₂(g) + 2 O₂(g) ⇒ 2 NO₂(g)

We can calculate the standard reaction entropy (ΔS°) using the following expression.

ΔS° = Σ ηp × Sf°p - Σ ηr × Sf°r

where,

  • η: stoichiometric coefficients of products and reactants
  • Sf°r: entropies of formation of products and reactants

ΔS° = 2 mol × 240.06 J/K.mol - 1 mol × 191.61 J/K.mol - 2 mol × 205.14 J/K.mol

ΔS° = -121.77 J/K ≈ -122 J/K
