The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is true regarding the reversible reaction \( A(s) + B(g) \leftrightarrow C(g) + D(g) \) with a given \( \Delta G^\circ = -350 \, \text{kJ} \), we will analyze the implications of the negative Gibbs free energy change and the characteristics of the reaction. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Gibbs Free Energy (\( \Delta G^\circ \))**: - The Gibbs free energy change (\( \Delta G^\circ \)) indicates the spontaneity of a reaction. A negative \( \Delta G^\circ \) suggests that the reaction is spontaneous under standard conditions. 2. **Evaluating the First Statement**: - The first statement claims that the reaction is thermodynamically non-feasible or non-spontaneous. Since \( \Delta G^\circ \) is negative (-350 kJ), this statement is **incorrect**. 3. **Evaluating the Second Statement**: - The second statement asserts that the entropy change is negative. To evaluate this, we calculate the change in the number of moles of gas (\( \Delta n_g \)): - Products: \( C(g) + D(g) \) = 2 moles of gas - Reactants: \( B(g) \) = 1 mole of gas - Therefore, \( \Delta n_g = 2 - 1 = 1 \) (which is positive). - A positive \( \Delta n_g \) indicates an increase in entropy, making this statement **incorrect**. 4. **Evaluating the Third Statement**: - The third statement claims that the equilibrium constant \( K \) is greater than 1. The relationship between \( \Delta G^\circ \) and the equilibrium constant is given by: \[ \Delta G^\circ = -2.303RT \log K \] - Since \( \Delta G^\circ \) is negative, this implies that \( \log K \) must be positive, which means \( K > 1 \). Thus, this statement is **correct**. 5. **Evaluating the Fourth Statement**: - The fourth statement suggests that the reaction would be instantaneous. However, the speed of a reaction (kinetics) is independent of the Gibbs free energy change. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Conclusion: The only true statement among the options provided is that the equilibrium constant is greater than 1.
