Calculate the standard-state entropy for the following reaction:

2NiS(s) + 3O2(g) -> 2SO2(g) + 2NiO(s)

The standard entropy values are given in the table.

Formula S - J/K
SO2(g) 248
NiO(s) 38.0
NiS(s) 53.0
O2(g) 205

Answer #1

The given chemical reaxction is as follows:

          2NiS(s) + 3O2(g) -> 2SO2(g) + 2NiO(s)

   The standard entropy for the reaction is

            Δ S rxn = Σn*ΔS0 products - Σn*ΔS0 reactants (where n,m are the number of moles)

                  =[ 2*ΔS0 SO2(g) + 2*ΔS0 NiO(s) ]- [ 2*ΔS0 NiS() + 3*ΔS0O2(g) ]

                  = [2*248 J/K + 2* 38.0 J/K ]-[2*53.0J/K + 3*205J/K]

                  = [496J/K + 76J/K ]-[106J/K + 615J/K]     

                 = 572 J/K - 721 J/K

                 = -149J/K

   Therefore     Δ S rxn    = -149J/K
