Gibbs-Helmoholtz equation relates the free energy change to the enthalpy and entropy changes of the process as
`(DeltaG)_(PT) = DeltaH - T DeltaS`
The magnitude of `DeltaH` does not change much with the change in temperature but the enrgy factor `T DeltaS` changes appreciably. Thus, spontaneity of a process depends very much on temperature.
For the reaction at `298K, 2A +B rarr C`
`DeltaH = 100 kcal` and `DeltaS = 0.020 kcal K^(-1)`. If `DeltaH` and `DeltaS` are assumed to be constant over the temperature range, at what temperature will the reaction become spontaneous?

A

total pressure increased to 1.3 atm

B

total pressure increased by 0.3 atm

C

difference in mercury level is 228 mm

D

Total pressure increased by 0.3 cm of Hg
