6. Thermodynamics and Kinetics

a. Which of the following reactions has the larger ∆S° value?

b. Is the ∆S° value positive or negative?

Calculate ∆G°, ∆H°, and ∆S° for the following acid–base reactions. Rationalize the value of ∆H° based on the structure of the conjugate bases. [Assume T = 298 K.]
