At 25°C, AG° = +31.2 kJ for the reaction, Ag2CO3(s) → Ag20(s) + CO2(g). Is this reaction spontaneous at 25°C and a partial pressure of CO2 gas of 0.10 atm? Explain why or why not. No, it will not be spontaneous, since AG is negative. Yes, it will be spontaneous, since AG is negative. No, it will not be spontaneous, since the reaction is at equilibrium. No, it will not be spontaneous, since AG is positive.
