Question
Which reaction below is spontaneous at low temperatures and nonspontaneous at high
temperatures?
O CO2 (g) --> C (s) + O2 (g)
DH°rxn = +393.5 kJ
O 2 CO (g) + O2 (g) --> 2 CO2 (g)
DH°xn = -566 kJ
O N2 (g) + O2 (g) --> 2 NO (g)
DH°pxn = +182.6 kJ
O C3H8 (g) + 5 O2 (g) --> 3 CO2 (g) + 4 H2O (g)
DH°rxn
= -2044 kJ
