Given the thermodynamics data for the following substances:

                                    H2(g)           CO2(g)        HCOOH(g)

            DHof(kJ/mol):    0.0             -393.5         -363.0

            So(J/(mol.K)):   131             214            249

      Calculate DGo at 25oC for the following reaction and predict whether or not the reaction is spontaneous at this temperature. 

                        HCOOH(g)  -->  CO2(g)  +  H2(g) 

      (A)  DGo = -32.9 kJ; the reaction is spontaneous

      (B)  DGo = -28.1 kJ; the reaction is spontaneous

      (C)  DGo = 1.89 kJ; the reaction is not spontaneous

      (D)  DGo = -59.1 kJ; the reaction is spontaneous
