Answer

(a) $606.4\,JK^{-1}mol^{-1}$ (b) $24.8\,JK^{-1}mol^{-1}$ (c) $-324.2\,JK^{-1}mol^{-1}$ (d) $-120.8\,JK^{-1}mol^{-1}$

Work Step by Step

Recall: $\Delta S^{\circ}_{rxn}=\Sigma n_{p}S^{\circ}(products)-\Sigma n_{r}S^{\circ}(reactants)$ (a) $\Delta S^{\circ}_{rxn}=[S^{\circ}(N_{2},g)+4S^{\circ}(H_{2}O,g)]-[2S^{\circ}(H_{2}O_{2},l)+S^{\circ}(N_{2}H_{4},l)]$ $=[(191.6\,JK^{-1}mol^{-1})+4(188.8\,JK^{-1}mol^{-1})]-[2(109.6\,JK^{-1}mol^{-1})+(121.2\,JK^{-1}mol^{-1})]$ $=606.4\,JK^{-1}mol^{-1}$ (b) $\Delta S^{\circ}_{rxn}=[2S^{\circ}(NO,g)]-[S^{\circ}(N_{2},g)+S^{\circ}(O_{2},g)]$ $=[2(210.8\,JK^{-1}mol^{-1})]-[(191.6\,JK^{-1}mol^{-1})+(205.2\,JK^{-1}mol^{-1})]$ $=24.8\,JK^{-1}mol^{-1}$ (c) $\Delta S^{\circ}_{rxn}=[2S^{\circ}(CH_{3}OH,l)]-[2S^{\circ}(CH_{4},g)+S^{\circ}(O_{2},g)]$ $=[2(126.8\,JK^{-1}mol^{-1})]-[2(186.3\,JK^{-1}mol^{-1})+(205.2\,JK^{-1}mol^{-1})]$ $=-324.2\,JK^{-1}mol^{-1}$ (d) $\Delta S^{\circ}_{rxn}=[S^{\circ}(C_{2}H_{6},g)]-[S^{\circ}(C_{2}H_{4},g)+S^{\circ}(H_{2},g)]$ $=(229.2\,JK^{-1}mol^{-1})-[(219.3\,JK^{-1}mol^{-1})+(130.7\,JK^{-1}mol^{-1})]$ $=-120.8\,JK^{-1}mol^{-1}$
