MCQ
For a reaction, $\Delta H = -40\,kJ$ and $\Delta S = -50\,J/K$ . At what temperature range will it change from spontaneous to non-spontaneous ? 
  • A
    $0.8\, K$ to $1\,K$
  • B
    $799 \,K$ to $800 \,K$
  • C
    $800\, K$ to $801 \,K$
  • $799 \,K $ to $801 \,K$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$799 \,K $ to $801 \,K$
d
$T = \frac{{\Delta H}}{{\Delta S}} = 800\,K$ (equilibrium)

$\Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta S$

below $800\, K$ spontaneous

above $800 \,K$ non-spontaneous
