Question

With thermodynamics, one cannot determine ________. With thermodynamics, one cannot determine ________. the temperature at which a reaction will be spontaneous the value of the equilibrium constant the extent of a reaction the direction of a spontaneous reaction the speed of a reaction

Answer 1

Answer:

With thermodynamics, one cannot determine the speed of a reaction.

Explanation:

Chemical thermodynamics, a branch of chemistry that deals with study of  interrelation of the heat and the work with the chemical reactions or with the physical changes of the state within confines of laws of thermodynamics.

Chemical thermodynamics' structure is derived from first two laws of chemical thermodynamics. From fundamental equations of Gibbs, a multitude of some equations which relates thermodynamic properties of thermodynamic system can be derived and can be used to calculate the reaction spontaneity, equilibrium constant, etc.

Thermodynamics predicts about the direction, feasibility and the extent of a chemical process, it does not tell anything about the rate at which a chemical process may proceed.
