Chapter 17, Problem 17.99SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The standard free energy change for the given reaction, using standard free energy of formation should be determined and significance of finding out a catalyst for the reaction should be identified.

Concept introduction:

If free energy change of a reaction is less than zero (or negative) then the reaction is thermodynamically feasible.

Given:

${\text{2NH}}_3\text{(g)}\to {\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{(g) + N}}_{\text{2}}{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}\text{(l)}$
