ΔG⁰ = ΔH⁰ - TΔS
ΔH⁰ = Hf,(CH₃OH) - Hf,(CO) = -238.7 + 110.5 = -128.2 kJ/mol
ΔS = S(CH₃OH) - S(CO) - 2S(H₂) = 126.8 - 197.7 - 2 x 130.6 = -332.1 J/mol.K
So
ΔG⁰ = - 128200 + 332.1 T
For the reaction to be spontaneous:
ΔG⁰ < 0
So: -128200 + 332.1 T < 0
332.1 T < 128200
T < 386.028 K
The particles of objects have
both kinetic and potential energy because these forces are drive by the force
of motion or stillness of an object. Potential energy is the a type of energy
which an object possess however without motion. Kinetic energy in the other
hand, is the energy in motion or if the object moves along from one space to
another with respect to time. They both have these two energies by the presence
of atoms in these entities.
