Question:
$\text{H}^+_{(aq)} + \text{OH}^-_{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{O}_{(l)} \quad \text{S}^{\circ}(298 \text{ K})$
$\quad -10.7 \text{ JK}^{-1} \quad\quad +70 \text{ JK}^{-1}\text{ mol}^{-1}$
$\text{Standard entropy change for the above reaction is:}$
Options:
-
1. $60.3 \text{ JK}^{-1} \text{ mol}^{-1}$
-
2. $80.7 \text{ JK}^{-1} \text{ mol}^{-1}$
-
3. $-70 \text{ JK}^{-1} \text{ mol}^{-1}$
-
4. $+10.7 \text{ JK}^{-1} \text{ mol}^{-1}$
Solution:
$\text{Hint: Use equation,}$ $\Delta \text{S} = \Delta \text{S}_\text{P} - \Delta \text{S}_\text{R}$
$\text{To calculate the standard entropy change}$ $(\Delta \text{S}^{\circ})$ $\text{for the reaction, we need to find the difference between the entropy of products and the entropy of reactants:}$
$\Delta \text{S}^{\circ} = \Delta \text{S}_\text{P} - \Delta \text{S}_\text{R}$
$\text{For this reaction:}$ $\text{H}^+_{(aq)} + \text{OH}^-_{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{O}_{(l)}$
$\Delta \text{S}^{\circ} = \text{S}^{\circ}_{\text{H}_2\text{O}} - (\text{S}^{\circ}_{\text{H}^+} + \text{S}^{\circ}_{\text{OH}^-})$
$\text{From the given data:}$
$\text{S}^{\circ}_{\text{H}^+} = \text{not explicitly given but included in calculation}$
$\text{S}^{\circ}_{\text{OH}^-} = -10.7 \text{ JK}^{-1}$
$\text{S}^{\circ}_{\text{H}_2\text{O}} = +70 \text{ JK}^{-1} \text{ mol}^{-1}$
$\text{We can simplify the calculation as shown in the hint:}$
$\Delta \text{S}^{\circ} = \text{S}^{\circ}_{\text{H}_2\text{O}} - \text{S}^{\circ}_{\text{OH}^-}$
$\Delta \text{S}^{\circ} = 70 - (-10.7)$
$\Delta \text{S}^{\circ} = 70 + 10.7$
$\Delta \text{S}^{\circ} = 80.7 \text{ JK}^{-1} \text{ mol}^{-1}$
$\text{Therefore, the standard entropy change for the reaction is}$ $80.7 \text{ JK}^{-1} \text{ mol}^{-1}$, $\text{which corresponds to option 2.}$
