First, we need to convert ΔH°rxn from kJ to J because ΔS°rxn is given in J/K. We can do this by multiplying the given ΔH°rxn by 1000. So, ΔH°rxn = +95 kJ * 1000 = +95000 J.
Next, we calculate ΔSuniv using the formula ΔSuniv = ΔS°rxn - (ΔH°rxn/T). Plug in the given values: ΔSuniv = -157 J/K - (+95000 J/298 K).
Calculate the value of ΔSuniv from the above expression.
If ΔSuniv is positive, the reaction is spontaneous. If ΔSuniv is negative, the reaction is non-spontaneous.
Finally, based on the value of ΔSuniv, predict whether the reaction is spontaneous or not.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Gibbs Free Energy

Gibbs Free Energy (G) is a thermodynamic potential that helps predict the spontaneity of a reaction at constant temperature and pressure. It is calculated using the equation ΔG = ΔH - TΔS, where ΔH is the change in enthalpy, T is the temperature in Kelvin, and ΔS is the change in entropy. A negative ΔG indicates a spontaneous reaction, while a positive ΔG suggests non-spontaneity.

Entropy (ΔS)

Entropy (ΔS) is a measure of the disorder or randomness in a system. In the context of a chemical reaction, a positive ΔS indicates an increase in disorder, which favors spontaneity. Conversely, a negative ΔS suggests a decrease in disorder, which can hinder spontaneity. The change in entropy is crucial for determining the overall spontaneity of a reaction when combined with enthalpy changes.

Enthalpy (ΔH)

Enthalpy (ΔH) is a measure of the total heat content of a system and reflects the energy absorbed or released during a reaction. A positive ΔH indicates that the reaction is endothermic, absorbing heat from the surroundings, while a negative ΔH indicates an exothermic reaction, releasing heat. The sign and magnitude of ΔH are essential for evaluating the energy changes that influence the spontaneity of a reaction in conjunction with entropy.
