Solution

For the given reaction,

2 A₍_g₎ + B₍_g₎ → 2D₍_g₎

Δn_g = 2 – (3)

= –1 mole

Substituting the value of ΔU^θ in the expression of ΔH:

ΔH^θ = ΔU^θ + Δn_gRT

= (–10.5 kJ) – (–1) (8.314 × 10^–3 kJ K^–1 mol^–1) (298 K)

= –10.5 kJ – 2.48 kJ

ΔH^θ = –12.98 kJ

Substituting the values of ΔH^θ and ΔS^θ in the expression of ΔG^θ:

ΔG^θ = ΔH^θ – TΔS^θ

= –12.98 kJ – (298 K) (–44.1 J K^–1)

= –12.98 kJ + 13.14 kJ

ΔG^θ = + 0.16 kJ

Since ΔG^θ for the reaction is positive, the reaction will not occur spontaneously.
