Question

For the reaction Ag2O(s)gives 2Ag(s)+1/2O2(g);∆H°=30.56kj and ∆S=66jk/mol at 1 atmospheric pressure and 25°C. Show that the reaction is not spontaneous at this given temperature

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

∆g=∆h-t∆s

∆g= 30560 - (273+25)66

∆g= 30560 - 19668

∆g= 10892J/mol

Since ∆g is positive, the reaction is non spontaneous.

Therefore, hence proved
