Question

When ignited, solid ammonium dichromate decomposes in a fiery display. This is the reaction for a "volcano" demonstration. The decomposition produces nitrogen gas, water vapor, and chromium(III) oxide. The temperature is constant at 25°C.

Substance	DH_f° (kJ/mol)	S° (kJ/mol K)
Cr₂O₃(g)	–1147	0.08118
H₂O(l)	–242	0.1187
N₂(g)	0	0.1915
(NH₄)₂Cr₂O₇(s)	–22.5	0.1137

Determine DS_univ° (in kJ/mol K) and the spontaneity of this reaction.
