`C_(2)H_(4) +Cl_(2) rarr C_(2)H_(4)Cl_(2) , Delta H = - 270.6 kJ mol^(-1), Delta S = - 139.0 J K^(-1) mol^(-1)` (i) Is the reaction favoured by entropy , enthalpy, both or none ? (ii) Find `Delta G` if `T = 300 K`.

Answer» (i) As `Delta H` is `-` ve , reaction isfavoured by enthalpy.
As ` Delta S` is -ve, it is not favoured by entropy.
(ii) `Delta G =Delta H - T DeltaS`
`= - 270.6 k J mol^(-1) - 300 K ( -139 xx 10^(-3) kJ K^(-1) mol^(-1))`
`= -270.6 + 41.7 kJ mol^(-1)`
`= - 228.9kJ mol^(-1)`
