Use the reaction I2(s) I2(g), H = 62.4 kJ/mol, S = 0.145 kJ/(molK)
At what temperature is the reaction at equilibrium?
A.157K
B.430K
C.0.002K
D.62K

Answer :

Answer: B. 430 K

Explanation:

According to Gibb's equation:

[tex]\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S[/tex]

[tex]\Delta G[/tex] = Gibbs free energy  

[tex]\Delta H[/tex] = enthalpy change  = +62.4 kJ/mol

[tex]\Delta S[/tex] = entropy change  = +0.145 kJ/molK

T = temperature in Kelvin

[tex]\Delta G[/tex]  = +ve, reaction is non spontaneous

[tex]\Delta G[/tex]  = -ve, reaction is spontaneous

[tex]\Delta G[/tex]  = 0, reaction is in equilibrium

[tex]\Delta H-T\Delta S=0[/tex] for reaction to be spontaneous

[tex]T=\frac{\Delta H}{\Delta S}[/tex]

[tex]T=\frac{62.4kJ/mol}{0.145kJ/molK}=430K[/tex]

Thus the Reaction is spontaneous when temperature is 430 K.
