question 23

Multiple Choice

Consider the following reaction at constant pressure.Use the information here to determine the value of ΔS_surr at 298 K.Predict whether or not this reaction will be spontaneous at this temperature.
$\quad$$\quad$ N₂(g) + 2O₂(g) → 2NO₂(g) Δ_rH = +66.4 kJ

• A)ΔS_surr = +223 J K^-1 mol^-1,reaction is spontaneous
• B)ΔS_surr = -223J K^-1 mol^-1,reaction is not spontaneous
• C)ΔS_surr = -66.4 J K^-1 mol^-1,reaction is spontaneous
• D)ΔS_surr = +66.4 kJ K^-1 mol^-1,reaction is not spontaneous
• E)ΔS_surr = -66.4 J K^-1 mol^-1,reaction is not spontaneous

Percentage

A way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100, used to compare proportions.

Normal Model

A theoretical distribution with a bell-shaped curve, symmetrical about the mean, used in statistics to describe how values of a variable are spread or distributed.

Top 2.5%

Referring to the upper echelon or highest-performing individuals or entities, specifically those in the 97.5th percentile and above.

Normal Model

A probability distribution characterized by its symmetry about the mean, revealing that data is more frequently found near the mean than at greater distances from it.
