Question
For the reaction CO(g)+12O2(g)→CO2(g),ΔH and ΔS are −283 kJ and −87 J K−1 mol−1 respectively. It was intended to carry out this reaction at 1000, 1500, 3000 and 3500 K. At which of these temperatures would this reaction be thermodynamically spontaneous?

Solution
The correct option is C 1000, 1500 and 3000 K
By using the equation,
ΔG=ΔH−TΔSAt 1000K, ΔG=−283−(−1000×0.087)(spontaneous)=−196 kJAt 1500 K, ΔG=−283−(−1500×0.087)(spontaneous)=−152.5 kJAt 3000 K , ΔG=−283−(−3000×0.0987)(spontaneous)=−22 kJAt 3500 K, ΔG=−283−(3500×0.087)(Non-spontaneous)=+21.5 kJ
By using the equation,
ΔG=ΔH−TΔSAt 1000K, ΔG=−283−(−1000×0.087)(spontaneous)=−196 kJAt 1500 K, ΔG=−283−(−1500×0.087)(spontaneous)=−152.5 kJAt 3000 K , ΔG=−283−(−3000×0.0987)(spontaneous)=−22 kJAt 3500 K, ΔG=−283−(3500×0.087)(Non-spontaneous)=+21.5 kJ
