For a reaction H =-30 ~kJ and S =-45 ~J ~K ⁻¹ , at what temperature reaction changes from spontaneous to non spontaneous?
Options
- A777 0 ~K
- B675 0 ~K
- C666 6 ~K
- D375 0 ~K
Correct answer
C. 666 6 ~K
Step-by-step solution
array l H =-30 ~kJ , S =-45 ~J ~K ⁻¹=-0.045 ~kJ ~K ⁻¹ T = H S = -30 ~kJ -0.045 ~kJ ~K ⁻¹ =666.67 ~K array Since H and S are both negative, the reaction is spontaneous at low temperature and nonspontaneous above 666.67 ~K .
