Most of the naturally occuring processes are spontaneous. Find the temperature above which the reaction, MgO(s) + C(s) rarr Mg(s) + CO(g) becomes spontaneous. (Given Delta_rH^@ = 490 kJ//mol and Delta_rS^@ = 198 J//molK )

Given PbO _((s)) + C _((s)) to Pb _((s)) + CO _((g)) , Delta H = 108 kJ mol ^(-1) and Delta S = 190 JK ^(-1) mol ^(-1, reduction of PbO _((s)) is spontaneous

a) Explain the effect of temperature on the spontaneity of a process based on Gibbs equation. b) For a reaction 2A(g)+B(g)rightarrow2D(g) , enthalpy and entropy changes are - 20.5 kJ mol^-1 and -50.4 J K^-1mol^-1 respectively. Predict whether the reaction occurs at 25^oC.
