The correct Answer is:
To determine the nature of the reaction based on the given values of ΔH and ΔS, we can use the Gibbs free energy equation: \[ \Delta G = \Delta H - T \Delta S \] Where: - \(\Delta G\) = Gibbs free energy change - \(\Delta H\) = Enthalpy change - \(T\) = Temperature in Kelvin - \(\Delta S\) = Entropy change ### Step 1: Identify the given values - \(\Delta H = -33 \, \text{kJ} = -33000 \, \text{J}\) (since we need to convert kJ to J) - \(\Delta S = -58 \, \text{J/K}\) ### Step 2: Substitute the values into the Gibbs free energy equation We can rewrite the equation as: \[ \Delta G = -33000 \, \text{J} - T(-58 \, \text{J/K}) \] This simplifies to: \[ \Delta G = -33000 \, \text{J} + 58T \] ### Step 3: Determine the conditions for spontaneity For the reaction to be spontaneous, \(\Delta G\) must be less than zero: \[ -33000 + 58T < 0 \] ### Step 4: Solve for temperature \(T\) Rearranging the inequality gives: \[ 58T < 33000 \] Dividing both sides by 58: \[ T < \frac{33000}{58} \approx 569.0 \, \text{K} \] ### Step 5: Analyze the results - If \(T < 569.0 \, \text{K}\), then \(\Delta G < 0\) and the reaction is spontaneous. - If \(T > 569.0 \, \text{K}\), then \(\Delta G > 0\) and the reaction is non-spontaneous. ### Conclusion The reaction is spontaneous below a certain temperature (569.0 K) and non-spontaneous above that temperature. Therefore, the correct answer is that the reaction is spontaneous below a certain temperature.
