<u>Given:</u>
H2(g) + Cl2 (g) → 2HCl (g)
<u>To determine:</u>
The enthalpy of the reaction and whether it is endo or exothermic
<u>Explanation:</u>
Enthalpy of a reaction is given by the difference between the enthalpy of formation of reactants and products
ΔH = ∑nHf (products) - ∑nHf (reactants)
= [2Hf(HCl)] - [Hf(H2) + Hf(Cl2)] = 2 (-92.3) kJ = - 184.6 kJ
Since the reaction enthalpy is negative, the reaction is exothermic
<u>Ans:</u> The enthalpy of reaction is -184. kJ and the reaction is exothermic
Answer:
When
and 
Explanation:
The spontaneity of a reaction can be determined by the sign of the Gibbs free energy change. For a spontaneous reaction, the change in Gibbs free energy should be negative, meaning:

Since the temperature value here corresponds to the absolute temperature, this implies that T > 0 for any T. Therefore, to have a negative difference for any temperature value, the first term, the change in enthalpy, should be negative and the change in entropy should be positive, so that we always subtract a positive number from a negative number. This corresponds to a negative value in
.
