Chapter 17, Problem 17.3P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of $\Delta G$ for the given reaction is to be calculated using the given values of enthalpy change, entropy change and temperature. Also the spontaneity of the reaction is to be identified.

Concept introduction: The value of $\Delta G$ is calculated by the formula,

$\Delta G=\text{Enthalpy}\text{change}-\text{Absolute}\text{temperature}\times \text{Entropy}\text{change}$

The reaction is spontaneous if $\Delta G$ is negative.

To determine: The value of $\Delta G$ for the given reaction and the spontaneity of the reaction.
