For complete combustion of ethene,
C2H4( g)+3O2( g)→2CO2( g)+2H2O(l)
the amount of heat produced as measured in bomb calorimeter is1406 kJ mol-1at300 K. The minimum value ofTΔSneeded to reach equilibrium is(-)kJ. (Nearest integer)
Given:R=8.3 J K-1 mol-1

Answer:
1411
Solution:

C2H4( g)+3O2( g)→2CO2( g)+2H2O(l)
ΔU=-1406 kJ mol-1

T=300K

ΔH=ΔU+ΔngRT

ΔU is the change in the internal energy of the system, which is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of all the molecules in the system. R is the gas constant (8.314 J/(mol K) and T is the temperature in Kelvin.
∆H = –1406 + (–2) × 8.3 × 300 = –1406 – 4.98 = –1410.98 KJ mol–1  ≈ –1411 The minimum value of  T∆S at equilibrium ∆H∆H = T∆S = –1411 KJ mol–1
