A reaction has ΔH∘=−60.0kJmol−1 and ΔS∘=−150Jmol−1K−1, both independent of temperature (R=8.314Jmol−1K−1). Select all correct statements.
AThe reaction is spontaneous under standard conditions below 400 K
BAt 298K, K>1.0×103
CK increases as the temperature is raised
DAt 500K, ΔG∘=+15.0kJmol−1
Answer: A, D
ΔG∘=0 at T=ΔH∘/ΔS∘=400K; with ΔS∘<0 the reaction is spontaneous below it. At 298K, ΔG∘=−60000+298×150=−15300J and K=e6.175=481<103. The reaction is exothermic, so K falls as T rises. At 500K, ΔG∘=−60000+75000=+15.0kJmol−1.
