For the reaction, 2A(g) + B(g) → 2D(g) ; ∆U ⊖ = –10.5 kJ and ∆S ⊖ = –44.1 JK –1 . Calculate ∆G ⊖ for the reaction, and predict whether the reaction may occur spontaneously.

Options

1. A–0.285 kJ, the reaction is spontaneous as ∆G ⊖ is negative
2. B0.164 kJ, the reaction is not spontaneous as ∆G ⊖ is positive
3. C–0.164 kJ, the reaction is spontaneous as ∆G ⊖ is negative
4. D0.285 kJ, the reaction is not spontaneous as ∆G ⊖ is positive
