Description : Would you expect the second electron gain enthalpy of O as positive, more negative or less negative than the first? Justify your answer.
Last Answer : Ans. Second electron affinity of O is largely +ve because of repulsion between negatively charged ions and second electron to be added. Energy required to overcome repulsion is more than the energy released in gaining electron, so net energy is absorbed.

Description : What is meant by entropy driven reaction? How can the reaction with positive change of enthalpy and entropy be made entropy driven?
Last Answer : Ans.The free energy change of a reaction is given by ΔG = ΔH - TΔS For a reaction to be spontaneous, ΔG should be -ve. If both ΔH and ΔS are positive ΔG can be -ve if TΔS>ΔH in magnitude. Thus, entropy ... is low, TΔS should be greater than ΔH (ii) If ΔS is small, T should be so large that TΔS>ΔH.
