Chapter 18, Problem 18.108SP

Use the data in Appendix B to calculate .G for the decomR AN position of nitrosyl chloride at 25 °C when the partial press ures are 2.00 atm of NOCI, $\text{1}\text{.00}\times {\text{10}}^{\text{-3}}$ atm of NO, and $\text{1}\text{.00}\times {\text{10}}^{\text{-3}}$ atmofCl₂:

   ${\text{2NO(g) + Cl}}_{\text{2}}\text{(g)}\to 2\text{NOCl(g)}$

Is the reaction spontaneous in the forward or the reverse direction under these conditions?
