For each of the following reactions, calculate ΔH∘rxn,
ΔS∘rxn, ΔG∘rxn at 25 ∘C. State whether or not the
reaction is spontaneous. If the reaction is not spontaneous, would
a change in temperature make it spontaneous? If so, should the
temperature be raised or lowered from 25 ∘C?
2NH3(g)→N2H4(g)+H2(g)
2KClO3(s)→2KCl(s)+3O2(g)
For a reaction to be spontaneous must be negative, in this light the second reaction with a negative is spontaneous.
For the first reaction, a positive value of indicate the reaction is nonspontaneous. is positive and is negative and hence the reaction is nonspontaneous at all temperature.
