Answer is: <span>The reaction will not be spontaneous at any temperature.

</span>

<span>Gibbs free energy (G) determines if reaction will proceed spontaneously.
ΔG = ΔH - T·ΔS.
ΔG - changes in Gibbs free energy.
ΔH - changes in enthalpy.
ΔS - changes in entropy.
T is temperature in Kelvins.
When ΔS < 0 (negative entropy change) and ΔH > 0 (endothermic reaction), the process is never spontaneous (ΔG> 0).</span>

Answer:

Explanation:

Entropy -

In a system, the randomness is measured by the term entropy .

Randomness basically refers as a form of energy that can not be used for any work.

The change in entropy is given by amount heat per change in temperature.

  • When solid is converted to gas entropy increases,

As the molecules in solid state are tightly packed and has more force of attraction between the molecules, but as it is converted to gas, the force of attraction between the molecule decreases and hence entropy increases.

So,

The particles of the substance , if are tightly held by strong force of attraction will decrease the entropy ,

And

If the particles are loosely held , the entropy will increase .  

  • If in a reaction , more number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , entropy will increase , i.e. Δ°S > 0
  • When liquid is converted to solid entropy decreases,  

As the molecules in liquid state are loosely packed and has less force of attraction between the molecules, but as it is converted to solid, the force of attraction between the molecule increases and hence entropy decreases.

  • If in a reaction , less number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , entropy will decrease , i.e. Δ°S < 0

From the question ,

( a )  NH₃(g) + 5 O₂(g) → 4 NO(g) + 6 H₂O(g)

Gaseous atoms -

Reactant - 1 + 5 = 6

Product - 4 + 6 = 10 ,

Hence ,

More number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , So ,

entropy will increase , i.e. Δ°S > 0

( b ) CH₄(g) + 2 O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2 H₂O(g)

Gaseous atoms -

Reactant - 1 + 2 = 3

Product - 1 + 2 = 3 ,

Since ,

Both the side the value of gaseous atoms are , hence , Δ°S = 0 .

( c ) CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

Gaseous atoms -

Reactant = 0

Product - 0 + 1 = 1 ,

Since ,

Hence ,

More number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , So ,

entropy will increase , i.e. Δ°S > 0

How many moles are in 1.05 g of gold (Au)?
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

0.005 mol

Explanation:

Moles is denoted by given mass divided by the molecular mass ,  

Hence ,  

n = w / m

n = moles ,  

w = given mass ,  

m = molecular mass .

From the question ,

w = given mass of Gold = 1.05 g ,

m = molecular mass of Gold = 197 g/mol

<u>Hence , moles can be calculated as -</u>

n = w / m = 1.05 g / 197 g/mol = 0.005 mol

Help please. 15.0 moles of gas are in a 3.00L tank at 23.4∘C . Calculate the difference in pressure between methane and an ideal
CaHeK987 [17]
Using PV=nRT or the ideal gas equation, we substitute n= 15.0 moles of gas, V= 3.00L, R equal to 0.0821 L atm/ mol K and T= 296.55 K and get P equal to 121.73 atm. The Van der waals equation is (P + n^2a/V^2)*(V-nb) = nRT.  Substituting  a=2.300L2⋅atm/mol2 and b=0.0430 L/mol, P is equal to 97.57 atm. The difference is <span>121.73 atm- 97.57 atm equal to 24.16 atm.</span>
