Chapter 6, Problem 6.12IA

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The values of ${\Delta }_{\text{r}}{H}^{\Theta }$ and ${\Delta }_{\text{r}}{S}^{\Theta }$ for the reaction has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

${\Delta }_{\text{r}}{H}^{\Theta }$ is the standard enthalpy of the reaction and ${\Delta }_{\text{r}}{S}^{\Theta }$ is known as the standard entropy of the reaction.  Both ${\Delta }_{\text{r}}{H}^{\Theta }$ and ${\Delta }_{\text{r}}{S}^{\Theta }$ plays the key role in determining the feasibility of the reaction.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of the standard enthalpy and the entropy of formation of ${\left(\text{ClO}\right)}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right)$ has to be calculated.
