From the values of ?H and ?S, predict which of the following reactions would be spontaneous at 25
The basic condition for the spontaneous reaction is the Gibbs free energy
G = dH - Tds
Putting the value of H enthalpy , T temprature and s entropy.
For Ist reaction
G = 105.5 - 298( 30) = -8824.5KJ
Here for ist case , the sign of Gibbs free energy is negative so the reaction will be spontaneous and will be in forward direction.
2) G = 1.8 - 298(-113) = 33675KJ
As the sign of free energy is positive so the reaction will be
spontaneous and in reverse direction.
