17.28 From each equation and standard enthalpy, predict whether the reaction will
be spontaneous at all temperatures, spontaneous at low temperatures but
nonspontaneous at high temperatures, nonspontaneous at low temperatures but
spontaneous at high temperatures, or not spontaneous at any temperature. Explain
the reasons.
(a) 2HgO(s)
2Hg(l) + O2(g)
= 90.8 kJ
→
(b) 4Fe(s) + 302(g) → 2Fe2O3(s)
AH = -1648.4 kJ
(c) N2(g) + 3Cl2(g) → 2NC13(g)
днө — 460 kJ
作答
(d) 2NH4NO3(s) →
2N2(g) + 4H2O(g) + O2(g) AH® = -225.5 kJ
