C2H2 (g) + 3H2 (g) --> 2CH4 (g)
ΔHf: 227 -75 (kJ/mol)
S°: 201 131 186 (J/mol K)
For the above reaction, what is ΔS, in J/mol K?
Given:
S° of C2H2 = 201
S° of 3H2 = 131
S° of 2CH4 = 186
We will be calculating value of change in entropy of the reaction (ΔS).
ΔS = SProducts – SReactants
= 186 – (131 + 201)
ΔS = -146 J/mol K
