Consider the Following Reaction at Constant P

question 93

Multiple Choice

Consider the following reaction at constant P.Use the information here to determine the value of ΔS_surr at 355 K.Predict whether or not this reaction will be spontaneous at this temperature.
2 NO(g) + O₂(g) → 2 NO₂(g) ΔH = -114 kJ

• A)ΔS_surr = +114 kJ/K,reaction is spontaneous
• B)ΔS_surr = +114 kJ/K,reaction is not spontaneous
• C)ΔS_surr = +321 J/K,reaction is spontaneous
• D)ΔS_surr = -321 J/K,reaction is not spontaneous
• E)ΔS_surr = +321 J/K,it is not possible to predict the spontaneity of this reaction without more information.
