For a reaction A + B products H is -84.2 ~kJ and S is -200 ~J ~K ⁻¹ . Calculate the highest value of temperature so that the reaction will proceed in forward direction.
Options
- A421 ~K
- B237 ~K
- C168 ~K
- D273 ~K
Correct answer
A. 421 ~K
Step-by-step solution
aligned T & = H S T & = -84200 ~J -200 ~J ~K ⁻¹ =421 ~K aligned Since H and S are negative, the reaction is spontaneous at low temperatures. Therefore, the highest temperature is 421 ~K and the reaction will proceed in forward direction spontaneously below 421 ~K .
