Urea on hydrolysis produces ammonia and carbon dioxide. The standard entropies of urea, H2O. CO2, NH3 are 173.8, 70, 213.5 and 192.5 J mole-1K-1 respectively. Calculate the entropy change for this relation. |

Answer» Given, S°(urea) = 173.8 J mol-1 K-1 S° (H2O) = 70 J mol-1K-1 S° (CO2) = 213.5 J mol-1 K-1 S° (NH3) = 192.5 J mol-1 K-1 NH2 – CO – NH2 + H2O → 2NH3 + CO2 ∆Sr° = ∑(S°)product – ∑(S°)reactants ∆Sr° = [2 S°(NH3) + S°(CO2)] — [S°(urea) + S°(H2O)] ∆Sr° = [2 x 192.5 + 213.5] – [173.8 + 70] ∆Sr° = [598.5] – [243.8] ∆Sr° = 354.7 J mol-1 K-1 |
