1. Calculate G at 25 C for the following fermentation reaction:

The standard Gibbs energies of formation of glucose, ethanol, and carbon dioxide are given in Appendix of your textbook.
Also use the data in Appendix to calculate S for the fermentation reaction.
2. The latent heat of vaporization of water at 100 C is 40.6 kJ mol
1
and when 1 mol of water is vaporized at 100 C and 1 atm
pressure, the volume increase is 30.19 dm
3
. Calculate the work done by the system, the change in internal energy U, the
change in Gibbs energy G and the entropy change S.
3. At 25 C 1 mol of an ideal gas is expanded isothermally from 2 to 20 dm
3
. Calculate U, H, S, A, and G.
4. The values of H and S for a chemical reaction are 85.2 kJ mol
1
and 170.2 J K
1
mol
