The oxidation of sugar to carbon dioxide
and water is a spontaneous chemical reac-
tion. Since we know that reactions that occur
spontaneously in one direction cannot occur
spontaneously in the reverse direction, how
can we understand photosynthesis?
1. Thermodynamics deals only with closed
systems; photosynthesis is an open system.
2. Thermodynamics does not apply to pho-
tochemical reactions.
3. Thermodynamics does not apply to living
systems.
4. This reaction is characterized by an en-
ergy change so close to zero that it is essen-
tially reversible.

Consider the following processes. (Treat all
gases as ideal.)
I) The pressure of one mole of oxygen gas
is allowed to double isothermally.
II) Carbon dioxide is allowed to expand
isothermally to 10 times its original vol-
ume.
III) The temperature of one mole of helium
is increased 25◦ C at constant pressure.
IV) Nitrogen gas is compressed isothermally
to one half its original volume.
V) A glass of water loses 100 J of energy
reversibly at 30◦ C.
