Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Whether the given reaction in problem 3(b) is spontaneous or not at 25° C and 1atm needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
A spontaneous reaction can be explained as the type of reaction which proceeds automatically to give the product under available conditions.
The best parameter to obtain the spontaneous nature of a reaction is obtaining its Gibb’s free energy change as
The Gibb’s free energy change is obtained by following formula:
Further the change in enthalpy and entropy for reactions are obtained as
