Correct answer: 965
- Given reaction
For spontaneity,
The minimum temperature for spontaneity is when
So first compute and for the reaction.
- Calculate standard enthalpy change
Using
Products:
Reactants:
Therefore,
- Calculate standard entropy change
Using
Products:
Reactants:
Thus,
- Find threshold temperature
Convert enthalpy into J mol:
Now,
For the reaction to become spontaneous,
Hence the minimum temperature is approximately
If integer truncation is expected, one may write , but physically the smallest whole-number temperature at which spontaneity starts is K.
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer =
My calculated threshold is K, so the least integer temperature making is K. Therefore I do not agree with the stored answer.
