Question

What is the nature of reaction at 298 &#160; K , if the entropy change and enthalpy change for a chemical reaction are 7 . 4 &#160; cal K - 1 and - 2 . 5 &#215; 10 3 &#160; cal , respectively.

As Gibbs free energy tells us about the spontenity of the reaction which is calculated as:

$\begin{matrix} ∆ G & = & ∆ H - T ∆ S \\ ∆ G & = & (- 2.5 \times 10^{3}) - 298 \times 7.4 \\ ∆ G & = & - 4705.2 cal \end{matrix}$

As, Gibbs free energy is negative. So, reaction is spontaneous.
