question 28

Multiple Choice

Using the thermodynamic data provided below, calculate the standard change in entropy when one mole of sodium sulfate is dissolved in water. $\begin{array}{|l|c|}\hline & \mathrm{S}^{\circ}(\mathrm{J} / \mathrm{K} \cdot \mathrm{~mol}) \\\hline \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}(s) & 149.49 \\\hline \mathrm{Na}^{+}(a q) & 60.25 \\\hline \mathrm{SO}_{4}{ }^{2-}(a q) & 17.15 \\\hline\end{array}$ Will the solubility of sodium nitrate increase or decrease if the temperature of the system is increased

• A) -11.84 J/K·mol; solubility decreases with increasing temperature
• B) -11.84 J/K·mol; solubility increases with increasing temperature
• C) 11.84 J/K·mol; solubility decreases with increasing temperature
• D) 11.84 J/K·mol; solubility increases with increasing temperature
• E) None of the above
