Question

Determine whether the following reaction will be spontaneous or non-spontaneous under standard conditions.
$Z n (s) + {C u}^{2 +} (a) ⟶ {Z n}^{2 +} (a q) + C u (s) △ H^{0} = - 219 k J, △ S^{0} = - 21 {J K}^{- 1} (S p o n t a n e o u s)$

Solution

$Δ G = Δ H - T Δ S$
$T = 29$ $K$
$Δ G < 0$ for spontaneous process.
$Δ G = - 219 \times 1000 - [(- 21) \times 298$ $K]$
$⟹ Δ G = - 212.742$ $k J$
Therefore, process is spontaneous.
