For the reaction given below, ?H0 = ?1516 kJ at 25°C and ?S0 = ?432.8 J/K at 25°C. This reaction is spontaneous ____.

at no temperatures

only below a certain temperature

at all temperatures

only above a certain temperature

cannot tell from the information available

?S = 0 and ?H = 0.

?S > 0 and ?H < 0.

?S < 0 and ?H < 0.

?S > 0 and ?H > 0.

?S < 0 and ?H > 0.

Explanation / Answer

1) S > 0 and H > 0

Sublimation is the process in which solid is converted into gaseous substance directly.

Sublimation: solid +_heat ------>   gas

Since energy is absorbed in the sublimation process, enthalpy change is positive and H > 0.

Since entropy of gas is more than that of the solid, entropy change is also positive and S > 0
