Instructions: This worksheet focuses on key concepts in thermodynamics and chemical equilibria. You will encounter calculation problems, theoretical questions, and data analysis tasks. Ensure to show all workings clearly and answer in the spaces provided.

Thermodynamic Calculations

Calculate the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) for the following reactions using the given enthalpy (ΔH) and entropy (ΔS) values. Use the equation ΔG = ΔH - TΔS, where T is the temperature in Kelvin. Assume T = 298 K.

1. ΔH = -100 kJ/mol, ΔS = 200 J/mol·K

2. ΔH = 50 kJ/mol, ΔS = -150 J/mol·K

3. ΔH = -200 kJ/mol, ΔS = 100 J/mol·K

Equilibrium Constant Calculations

For the reactions below, calculate the equilibrium constant (Kc) using the given concentrations. Use the formula Kc = [products]/[reactants], and ensure to balance the equations before calculating.

1. A + B ⇌ C; [A] = 0.5 M, [B] = 0.5 M, [C] = 1.0 M

2. D ⇌ E + F; [D] = 0.2 M, [E] = 0.6 M, [F] = 0.6 M

Rate Equations and Reaction Order

Determine the order of reaction with respect to each reactant and the overall order for the following reactions. Use the given rate equations and concentrations.

1. Rate = k[A]^2[B]; [A] = 0.1 M, [B] = 0.2 M

2. Rate = k[C][D]^2; [C] = 0.3 M, [D] = 0.4 M

Data Analysis: Reaction Rates

Analyse the data in the table below, which shows the concentration of a reactant over time. Determine the rate of reaction and comment on the order of reaction.

Time (s)	Concentration (M)	Rate (M/s)
0	1.0
10	0.8
20	0.6
30	0.4

1. Calculate the average rate of reaction between 0 and 40 seconds.

2. Suggest the order of reaction based on the data.

Critical Essay: Chemical Equilibria

Write a detailed essay discussing the factors affecting chemical equilibria. Include Le Chatelier's principle, the effect of temperature, pressure, and concentration changes, and provide examples to illustrate your points.
