Determine whether the reactions listed below are entropy-favored or disfavored under standard conditions. Predict how an increase in temperature will affect the value of ΔrG°.
- (a) N2(g) + 2 O2(g) → 2 NO2(g)
- (b) 2 C(s) + O2(g) → 2 CO(g)
- (c) CaO(s) + CO2(g) → CaCO3(s)
- (d) 2 NaCl(s) → 2 Na(s) + Cl2(g)
(a)

Interpretation:
It should be determined that whether the given reaction is entropy favorable and should be identified that how increase in temperature will affect the value of
Concept introduction:
The Gibbs free energy or the free energy change is a thermodynamic quantity represented by
Here,
Entropy for any reaction is expressed as,
A reaction is said to be entropy-favored if the value of entropy change for reaction is positive.
Answer to Problem 23PS
The formation of
Explanation of Solution
The value of
Given:
The Appendix L referred for the values of standard entropies and enthalpies.
Substituting the respective values
Substituting the respective values
Now,
Substitute the value of
