Answer:
Explanation:
Temperature measures the average kinetic (or motion) energy of the particles within a substance.
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.
Answer:
D is the answer may be. I'm not sure.
Answer: The equilibrium constant for the overall reaction is 
Explanation:
Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios.
a) 
![K_a=\frac{[PCl_3]}{[Cl_2]^{\frac{3}{2}}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_a%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BPCl_3%5D%7D%7B%5BCl_2%5D%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D%7D%7D)
b) 
![K_b=\frac{[PCl_5]}{[Cl_2]\times [PCl_3]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_b%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BPCl_5%5D%7D%7B%5BCl_2%5D%5Ctimes%20%5BPCl_3%5D%7D)
For overall reaction on adding a and b we get c
c) 
![K_c=\frac{[PCl_5]}{[Cl_2]^\frac{5}{2}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_c%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BPCl_5%5D%7D%7B%5BCl_2%5D%5E%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B2%7D%7D)
![K_c=K_a\times K_b=\frac{[PCl_3]}{[Cl_2]^{\frac{3}{2}}}\times \frac{[PCl_5]}{[Cl_2]\times [PCl_3]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_c%3DK_a%5Ctimes%20K_b%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BPCl_3%5D%7D%7B%5BCl_2%5D%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D%7D%7D%5Ctimes%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BPCl_5%5D%7D%7B%5BCl_2%5D%5Ctimes%20%5BPCl_3%5D%7D)
The equilibrium constant for the overall reaction is
