Question
Consider the following reaction at constant P. Use the information here to determine the value of ΔS surr at 298 K. Predict whether or not this reaction will be spontaneous at this temperature.

 N 2g) + 2 O 2g) → 2 NO 2g) ΔH = +66.4 kJ 
   
ΔSsurr = -66.4 J/K, reaction is not spontaneous
   
ΔSsurr = +2656 kJ/K, reaction is not spontaneous
   
ΔSsurr = +223 J/K, reaction is spontaneous
   
ΔSsurr = -223 J/K, reaction is not spontaneous
   
ΔSsurr = -66.4 J/K, it is not possible to predict the spontaneity of this reaction without more information.
