Question:

For a reaction at 298 K
2A + B————->C
∆H = 40Q kj mot1 and AS = 0.2  kj Kr-1 mol-1.
At what temperature will the reaction become spontaneous considering ∆H and ∆S to be constant over the temperature range?

Answer:

As per the Gibbs Helmholtz equation:
ΔG = Δ  H- TΔ  S For  Î”G=0 ;  Î”H=TΔS or T=ΔH/ΔS
T = (400 KJ mol-1)/(0.2 KJ K-1 mol-1) = 2000 k
Thus, reaction will be in a state of equilibrium at 2000 K and will be spontaneous above this temperature.
