Question

Indicate which of the four cases below applies to the following four reactions (a through d) by writing 1, 2, 3, or 4 after each letter

  1. Spontaneous at all temperatures.
  2. Spontaneous above a certain temperature.
  3. Spontaneous below a certain temperature.
  4. Non-spontaneous at all temperatures.

a)     PCl3(g) +   Cl2(g)   ↔   PCl2(g)                                    ΔH° = -87 KJ       

b)     CH4(g) +   2 O2(g)   ↔   CO2(g)   +   2 H2O(g)         ΔH° = +41 KJ     

c)     2 NH3(g) →   N2(g)   +   3 H2(g)                                 ΔH° = +160 KJ     

d)      Mg(s) +   2 HCl(aq)   →   MgCl2(aq)   +   H2(g)          ΔH° = -462 KJ
