Answer:
Explanation:
Given: Entropy of surrounding: ΔSsurr = ?
Temperature: T= 355 K
The change in enthalpy of reaction: ΔH = -114 kJ
Pressure: P = constant
As we know, ΔH = -114 kJ ⇒ negative
Therefore, the given reaction is an exothermic reaction
Therefore, Entropy of surrounding at <em>constant pressure</em> is given by,
<u><em>In the given reaction:</em></u>
2NO(g) + O₂(g) → 2NO₂(g)
As, the number of moles of gaseous products is less than the number of moles of gaseous reactants.
As we know, <em>for a spontaneous process, that the total entropy should be positive.</em>
<u>Therefore, at the given temperature,</u>
- if
then the given reaction is spontaneous
- if
then the given reaction is non-spontaneous
