The Normal Boiling Point of Acetic Acid Is 118 $\circ$ C If a Sample of the Acetic Acid Is at C

question 13

Multiple Choice

The normal boiling point of acetic acid is 118.1 ^$\circ$ C. If a sample of the acetic acid is at 125.2 ^$\circ$ C, predict the signs of $\Delta$ H, $\Delta$ S, and $\Delta$ G for the boiling process at this temperature.

• A) (\(\Delta\)H) > 0, \(\Delta\)S > 0, \(\Delta\)G < 0
• B) (\(\Delta\)H) > 0, \(\Delta\)S > 0, \(\Delta\)G > 0
• C) (\(\Delta\)H) > 0, \(\Delta\)S < 0, \(\Delta\)G < 0
• D) (\(\Delta\)H) < 0, \(\Delta\)S > 0, \(\Delta\)G > 0
• E) (\(\Delta\)H) < 0, \(\Delta\)S < 0, \(\Delta\)G > 0
