Answer #1

The Standard values of enthalpy & entropy is -

ΛΗ-(f) (kJ/mol)

ASo(f) (J/K mol)

CH3CH2OH (l) -276.98 161.0
C2H4 (g) -52.3 219.5
H2O (g) -241.8 188.7
H2 (g) 0 131.0
C2H6 (g) -84.7 229.5

For the First Reaction - ΛΗ-

(-276.98 - 52.3 - 241.8) KJ = - 87.48 kJ

For the second reaction - ΛΗ-

(-276.98 + 0 - 84.7 - 241.8 ) kJ = + 49.5 kJ

As we can see the free energy of the reaction first reaction is negative which indicates the reaction feasibility , hence the first reaction is thermo-dynamically feasible.
