The correct Answer is:
To determine the temperature at which a reaction changes from spontaneous to non-spontaneous, we can use the Gibbs free energy equation: \[ \Delta G = \Delta H - T \Delta S \] ### Step 1: Understand the conditions for spontaneity For a reaction to be spontaneous, \(\Delta G\) must be less than zero (\(\Delta G < 0\)). At the temperature where the reaction changes from spontaneous to non-spontaneous, \(\Delta G\) will be equal to zero (\(\Delta G = 0\)). ### Step 2: Set up the equation We set \(\Delta G\) to zero: \[ 0 = \Delta H - T \Delta S \] Rearranging gives us: \[ T = \frac{\Delta H}{\Delta S} \] ### Step 3: Convert units We need to ensure that \(\Delta H\) and \(\Delta S\) are in compatible units. Given: - \(\Delta H = -224 \, \text{kJ} = -224 \times 1000 \, \text{J} = -224000 \, \text{J}\) - \(\Delta S = -153 \, \text{J/K}\) ### Step 4: Substitute the values into the equation Now we can substitute the values into the equation: \[ T = \frac{-224000 \, \text{J}}{-153 \, \text{J/K}} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the temperature Calculating \(T\): \[ T = \frac{224000}{153} \approx 1465.4 \, \text{K} \] ### Conclusion The temperature at which the reaction changes from spontaneous to non-spontaneous is approximately **1465.4 K**. ---
