The correct Answer is:
To determine the temperature beyond which the given reaction will be spontaneous, we can use the Gibbs free energy equation: \[ \Delta G = \Delta H - T \Delta S \] For a reaction to be spontaneous, \(\Delta G\) must be less than zero: \[ \Delta G < 0 \] ### Step 1: Convert \(\Delta H\) to Joules Given: \[ \Delta H = +3 \, \text{kJ} = 3 \times 1000 \, \text{J} = 3000 \, \text{J} \] ### Step 2: Identify \(\Delta S\) Given: \[ \Delta S = +10 \, \text{J/K} \] ### Step 3: Set up the inequality for spontaneity Using the Gibbs free energy equation: \[ \Delta G = \Delta H - T \Delta S \] We need: \[ \Delta H - T \Delta S < 0 \] Substituting the values: \[ 3000 - T \cdot 10 < 0 \] ### Step 4: Rearrange the inequality Rearranging gives: \[ 3000 < T \cdot 10 \] Dividing both sides by 10: \[ 300 < T \] ### Step 5: Conclusion Thus, the reaction will be spontaneous at temperatures greater than 300 K. ### Final Answer The reaction will be spontaneous beyond a temperature of **300 K**. ---
