This means a release of free energy from the system corresponds to a negative change in free energy, but to a positive change for the surroundings.
Answer: A) This reaction will be spontaneous only at high temperatures
Explanation:
= +ve, reaction is non spontaneous
= -ve, reaction is spontaneous
= 0, reaction is in equilibrium
Using Gibbs Helmholtz equation:
Given :
Thus the value of
is negative and spontaneous when temperature is high.
The H+ concentration in the lake has increased as a result of the acid rain.
The original pH of the lake was 7, which mean the water is neutral, but due to the acid rain, it drops to 5. This means, that the water has become acidic and how have more hydrogen ion. The H+ concentration in the lake has 100 times compares with its original pH.
