Answer:
c. The reaction will proceed rapidly from left to right.
Explanation:
The variation of the free Gibbs energy doesn't tell anything about the speed of reaction.
On the other hand, when ΔGo is negative: the reaction is spontaneous, thermodynamically favourable, and the products are more stable than the reactants
The chemical reaction would be written as follows:
2Al + 3Cl2 = 2AlCl3
We are given the amount of aluminum to be used in the reaction. This will be the starting point of the calculations. We do as follows:
19.0 g Al ( 1 mol / 29.98 g ) ( 2 mol AlCl3 / 2 mol Al ) = 0.63 mol AlCl3
The answer is B.
You can rule C out because divergent means moving away. Rule out A because there is an oceanic and continental plate, not 2 of the same type. Rule D out for the same reason.
