Calculate the change in entropy for the following reaction
2CO(g)+O2(g)→2CO2(g).
Given S0CO2=213.6JK−1mol−1,S0CO=297.6JK−1mol−1 respectively.
-173.03 JK−1mol−1
Since, entropy is a state function,
△S = △Sfinal−Sinitial
For chemical reactions,
△S = △S (products) - △S (reactants)
Therefore,
=[2×S⊖CO2(g)−2×S⊖CO+S⊖O2
=(213.6×2)−(2×197.6+205.03)
=427.2−600.23=−173.03 JK−1mol−1
