1. Consider the thermodynamics of the hypothetical process
H2O(l) --> ice-nine(s)
Based on the information above, will DG° for the formation ofice-nine from liquid water be positive or negative? Explain how youknow.
Will the entropy, S°, for the system (the ocean) increase ordecrease for this process? Explain how you know.
Based on your answers above, will the enthalpy change, DH°, forthis process be positive or negative? Write a mathematical equationto support your answer.
Based on your answer to part c , will there be a change in thetemperature of the ocean and its surroundings as the liquid wateris converted to ice-nine? Explain.
Given that the melting point of ice-nine is much higher thanthat of regular ice, will the H° for the conversion of water toice-nine be more positive or more negative than the H° for theconversion of water to regular ice? Explain.
