ΔS° = ΣS°_{products} – ΣS°_{reactants} (16.1)
ⓑ
STRATEGY
1. Write a balanced equation for the reaction.
2. Find ΔS° by substituting S° values from Table 16.1 into Equation 16.1.
Note that the value you obtained is for the difference in entropy for one mole.
3. Use ΔS° for one mole as a conversion factor to obtain ΔS° for one gram of CH_{4}.

ⓐ
Ca(OH)_{2}(s) → Ca^{2+}(aq) + 2 OH^{-}(aq) | 1. Equation |
ΔS° = S°Ca^{2+}(aq) + 2S° OH^{-}(aq) – S° Ca(OH)_{2}(s)
= 1 mol\left(\frac{-53.1 J}{mol · K}\right) + 2 mol \left(\frac{-10.8 J}{mol · K}\right) – 1 mol\left(\frac{+83.4 J}{mol · K}\right) = -158.1 J/K |
2. ΔS° |
ⓑ
CH_{4} + 2 O_{2}(g) → CO_{2}(g) + 2H_{2}O(l) | 1. Equation |
ΔS° = S° CO_{2}(g) + 2S° H_{2}O(l) – [S° CH_{4}(g) + 2S° O_{2}(g)]
= 1 mol\left(\frac{+213.6 J}{mol · K}\right) + 2 mol \left(\frac{+69.9 J}{mol · K}\right) – \left[1 mol\left(\frac{+186.2 J}{mol · K} \right) + 2 mol \left(\frac{+205.0 J}{mol · K}\right)\right] = – 242.8 J/K for the combustion of one mole of CH_{4}. |
2. ΔS° for one mole |
\frac{-242.8 J/K}{1 mol CH_{4}} × \frac{1 mol CH_{4}}{16.04 g} = -15.14 J/K | 2. ΔS° for one gram |
END POINT
Notice that when there is a decrease in the number of moles of gas (part b), ΔS° is negative.
