Answer:

The correct answer is B. It is spontaneous only at low temperatures.

Explanation:

In thermodynamics, the Gibbs free energy is a thermodynamic potential that can be used to calculate the maximum of reversible work that may be performed by a thermodynamic system at a constant temperature and pressure.

The spontaneity of a reaction is given by the equation:

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

where:

ΔH: enthalpy variation

T: absolute temperature

ΔS: entropy variation

As the reaction is exothermic, ΔH<0

As the reaction order increases (the reagents are solid and gas and their product is solid), ΔS<0

Therefore, the reaction will be spontaneous when ΔG is negative.

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

That is, the entropy term must be smaller than the enthalpy term.

Hence, the reaction will be spontaneous only at low temperatures.

An important industrial route to extremely pure acetic acid is the reaction of methanol with carbon monoxide:
Nastasia [14]

The reaction has had a heat that is enthalpy of -22 kJ/mol. The exothermic process has been signaled by the negative sign.

The amount of energy that the system absorbs or releases to create the products is described as the heat of reaction.

The source of the reaction's heat is

H is equal to 3(413 Kj/mol) + 358 Kj/mol + 467 Kj/mol + 1070 Kj/mol = 3134 Kj/mol.

H prod equals 3(413 kj/mol) plus 347 kj/mol plus 358 kj/mol plus 467 kj/mol plus 745 kj/mol, or 3156 kj/mol.

H=3134 kj/mol - 3156 kj/mol = -22 Kj/mol

Negative findings point to an exothermic response.

A chemical process known as an exothermic reaction releases energy in the form of heat or light.

Improper or incomplete usage of citations can lead to plagiarism.

Without proper usage of citations, teachers or whoever is looking over your work, may think because you do not hold acceptable citations, that they will think it is plagiarized. Plagiarism is taking another person's work or ideas without citing it. Citation or direct quotation could save you from plagiarism.
