Question
A chemical engineer is studying the two reactions shown in the table below.
In each case, she fills a reaction vessel with some mixture of the reactants and products at a constant temperature of 106.0 °C and constant total pressure.
Then, she measures the reaction enthalpy AH and reaction entropy AS of the first reaction, and the reaction enthalpy AH and reaction free energy AG of the
second reaction. The results of her measurements are shown in the table.
Complete the table. That is, calculate AG for the first reaction and AS for the second. (Round your answer to zero decimal places.) Then, decide whether, under
the conditions the engineer has set up, the reaction is spontaneous, the reverse reaction is spontaneous, or neither forward nor reverse reaction is spontaneous
because the system is at equilibrium.
MgO (s) + 2HC1(g) → MgCl₂ (s) + H₂O (1)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Answer:

In this question on the basis of value of G we have to decide which reaction is spontaneous and for that we can use the relation Gibbs free energy change, enthalpy change and entropy change.
