The only stress (change) that also changes the value of K is a change in temperature. For an exothermic reaction, how does the equilibrium position change as temperature increases, and what happens to the value of K? Answer the same questions for an endothermic reaction. If the value of K increases with a decrease in temperature, is the reaction exothermic or endothermic? Explain.

Silicon forms a series of compounds analogous to the al-kanes and having the general formula SinH2n+2. The first of these compounds is silane, SiH4, which is used in the electronics industry to produce thin ultrapure silicon films. SiH4(g) is somewhat difficult to work with because it is py-ropboric at room temperature—meaning that it bursts into flame spontaneously when exposed to air. (a) Write an equation for the combustion of SiH4(g). (The reaction is analogous to hydrocarbon combustion, and SiO2 is a solid under standard conditions. Assume the water produced will be a gas.) (b) Use the data from Appendix E to calculate ? for this reaction. (c) Calculate G and show that the reaction is spontaneous at 25°C. (d) Compare G for this reaction to the combustion of methane. (See the previous problem.) Are the reactions in these two exercises enthalpy or entropy driven? Explain.
The following is a thought experiment. Imagine that you put a little water in a test tube and add some NaF crystals. Immediately after you add NaF, you observe that the crystals begin dissolving. The quantity of solid NaF decreases, hut before long, it appears that no more NaF is dissolving. The solution is saturated. The equation for the dissolution of NaF in water is NaF(s) —* Na (aq) + F~(aq). As NaF dissolves, what do you think happens to the rate of dissolution? Describe w hat is occurring on the molecular level. Assume that the reverse reaction, Na+(aq) + F“(aq) —* NaF(s), also occurs as the crystal dissolves. In other words, both dissolution and precipitation are taking place. When it appears that there is no more change in the quantin’ of NaF dissolving (the solution is saturated), w hat has happened to the rates of the forward and reverse reactions? Explain your answer.
