Question
The scenes below represent the reaction of X2Y2 to yield X2 (red) and Y2 (blue).
(a) What is the sign of AS for the reaction? (b) If the reaction is spontaneous only
above 325°C, what is the sign of AH? *
(a)AS > 0.; (b) The problem says the reaction is spontaneous (AG < 0) only above
325°C, which implies high T. If AS > 0, -TAS < 0, so AG will become negative at higher
T only if AH > 0.
(a)AS > 0.; (b) The problem says the reaction is non-spontaneous (AG < 0) only above
325°C, which implies high T. If AS > 0, -TAS < 0, so AG will become negative at higher
T only if AH > 0.
(a)AS < 0.; (b) The problem says the reaction is spontaneous (AG < 0) only above
O 325°C, which implies high T. If AS > 0, -TAS < 0, so AG will become negative at higher
