Why?arrow_forwardUsing values of fH and S, calculate rG for each of the following reactions at 25 C. (a) 2 Na(s) + 2 H2O() 2 NaOH(aq) + H2(g) (b) 6 C(graphite) + 3 H2(g) C6H6() Which of these reactions is (are) predicted to be product-favored at equilibrium? Are the reactions enthalpy- or entropy-driven?arrow_forwardWhat information can be determined from G for a reaction? Does one get the same information from G, the standard free energy change? G allows determination of the equilibrium constant K for a reaction. How? How can one estimate the value of K at temperatures other than 25C for a reaction? How can one estimate the temperature where K = 1 for a reaction? Do all reactions have a specific temperature where K = 1?arrow_forward
