Two different gases occupy the two bulbs shown here. Consider the process that occurs when the stopcock is opened, assuming the gases behave ideally. (a) Draw the final (equilibrium) state. (b) Predict the signs of H and S for the process. (c) Is the process that occurs when the stopcock is opened a reversible one? (d) How does the process affect the entropy of the surroundings?

Problem 86E
Free Energy and Equilibrium (Section)
The Kb for methylamine (CH3WH2) at 25 °C is given in Appendix D. (a) Wfite the chemical equation for the equilibrium that corresponds to Kb. (b) By using the value of Kb, calculate A G° for the equilibrium in part (a), (c) What is the value of A G at equilibrium? (d) What is the value of A G when [H+] = 6.7 x 10-9 M, [CH3NH3 +] = 2.4 x 10-3 M, and [CH3NH2] = 0.093 M?
