Chapter 8, Problem 8.22E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The non-spontaneity of the given reaction is to be shown.

Concept introduction: Standard Gibbs free energy of a reaction is used to check whether the reaction is spontaneous or not. If the value of ΔG° is positive, then the reaction is non-spontaneous. If the value of ΔG° is negative, then the reaction is spontaneous.
