Solution

The correct option is B 463 K, reaction will be sponteneous above this temperature.
We know that,
G=HT S
At equilibrium, G=0
so that 0=HT S
or T=HS
Given that, H=30.56 kJ mol1
=30560 J mol1
S=66.0 J K1mol1
T=3056066=463K
Above this temperature, G will be negative and the reaction will be spontaneous.
