Gibbs Free Energy and Spontaneity
For the reaction N2(g) + 3H2(g) โ 2NH3(g) at 298 K, given ฮHยฐ = -92.4 kJ/mol and ฮSยฐ = -198.3 J/(molยทK): (a) Calculate ฮGยฐ at 298 K. (b) Is the reaction spontaneous at 298 K? (c) At what temperature does the reaction become non-spontaneous? (d) Explain why this reaction is favored at low temperatures but not high temperatures.
