Question
- The decomposition of crystalline N,O,
N,O,(6) – 2NO,(g) + -0-(g)
is an example of a reaction that is thermodynamically favored even though
it absorbs heat. At 25 °C we have the following values for the standard state
enthalpy and free energy changes of the reaction:
AH = +109.6 kJ/mol
AG = -30.5 kJ/mol
(a) Calculate AS at 25 °C.
(b) Why is the entropy change so favorable for this reaction?
