Question

Silver oxide decomposes based on the reaction:

                           2 Ag2O (s) à 4 Ag (s)  + O2 (g)

The standard molar enthalpy of formation ∆Hof and the standard molar entropy Som of the reacting species of this reaction are given below. Note ∆Hof and Som are temperature independent.

                                 Ag2O (s)              Ag (s)               O2 (g)

∆Hof (kJ/mol)       -31.05                        0                    0

Som (J/K-mol)        121.34                  42.55                205

Which of the following statements is correct regarding this reaction at different temperatures? (Choose one option only)

Options: 

a. At 25 oC, the equilibrium constant of this reaction is Kp > 1 (pressure based equilibrium constant).

b. At 25 oC, the entropy change of surroundings ∆S(surroundings) > 0.

c. The equilibrium constant of this reaction increases as temperature is increased.

d. The reaction is non-spontaneous at all temperatures.

e. None of the above
