Is the following reaction spontaneous at 298 K? Answer by calculating ΔG. H2O(g) + C(s) → CO(g) + H2(g) ΔH = 131.3 kJ/mole ΔS = 134 J/mole˙K
No
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
Oxygen can combine with a metal to produce a compound
Answer:
Hot material near Earth's surface is more dense and sinks, and when it cools, it becomes less dense and rises.
Explanation:
Convection is a process by which less dense material rises and more dense material sinks near Earth's surface. Water, air, rocks and other materials expands when temperature rises and they become less dense. When the water is heated it becomes vapors and carries away thermal energy from the water.
