Consider the reaction
KClO4(s)→KCl(s)+2O2(g)
and the following table of values:
Substance | ΔG∘f (kJ/mol) |
KClO4(s) | −304.4 |
KCl(s) | −408.2 |
O2(g) | 0 |
State whether it would be worthwhile to investigate finding a catalyst to use in this reaction under standard conditions and explain why.
A) Yes, because ΔG∘ is negative.
B) No, because ΔG∘ is negative. (not the answer)
C) Yes, because ΔG∘ is positive.
D) No, because ΔG∘ is positive.
