The discussion focuses on determining the signs of ΔH, ΔG, and ΔS for the reaction N2(g) → 2N(g). Participants note that there is no phase change, temperature, or volume change, complicating the analysis. The presence of diatomic nitrogen (N2) in nature suggests that the reaction is not spontaneous, indicating a positive ΔG. The breakdown of N2 into atomic nitrogen (N) is endothermic, leading to a positive ΔH. Overall, the reaction is characterized by an increase in entropy, resulting in a positive ΔS.

Homework Statement: Determine the signs of ∆H, ∆G, ∆S for the reaction: N2(g) → 2N(g) Assume standard conditions and temperature = 25 oC

Relevant Equations: ∆G=∆H-T∆S

Hello are you able to explain the two incorrect ones. I am not sure how to do this as there is no phase change involved, nor is there a temperature or volume change.

Which form of nitrogen do you find in nature? What does that tell you about the ΔG of the given reaction?

If have close pipe system with water inside pressurized at P1= 200 000Pa absolute, density 1000kg/m3, wider pipe diameter=2cm, contraction pipe diameter=1.49cm, that is contraction area ratio A1/A2=1.8 a) If water is stationary(pump OFF) and if I drill a hole anywhere at pipe, water will leak out, because pressure(200kPa) inside is higher than atmospheric pressure (101 325Pa). b)If I turn on pump and water start flowing with with v1=10m/s in A1 wider section, from Bernoulli equation I...
