Problem

The combustion of one mole of benzene takes place at 298 K and 1 atm. After combustion, CO2(g)\text{CO}_2(\text{g}) and H2O\text{H}_2\text{O} are produced and 3267.0 kJ of heat is liberated. Calculate the standard enthalpy of formation of benzene. Standard enthalpies of formation of CO2(g)\text{CO}_2(\text{g}) and H2O(l)\text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{l}) are −393.5 kJ mol−1-393.5\text{ kJ mol}^{-1} and −285.83 kJ mol−1-285.83\text{ kJ mol}^{-1} respectively. a. Give relationship between enthalpy change, entropy change and Gibb's free energy change. b. For a reaction ΔH\Delta H and ΔS\Delta S are positive. What is the condition that this reaction occurs spontaneously? (OR) State Hess's law. (OR) Discuss the effect of temperature on the spontaneity of a reaction using Gibbs free energy.
