`F_(2)C=CF-CF = CF_(2) rarr F_(2)underset(FC=)underset(|)(C)-underset(CF)underset(|)(CF_(2))` For this reaction (ring closure), `DeltaH =- 49 kJ mol^(-1), DeltaS =- 40.2 J K^(-1) mol^(-1).Up` to what temperature is the forward reaction spontaneous?A. `1492^(@)C`B. `1219^(@)C`C. `946^(@)C`D. `1080^(@)C` |
Answer» Correct Answer - C For spontaneous process, `DeltaG=DeltaH-TDeltaS` (should e negative) `thereforeT gt (DeltaH)/(DeltaS)` `T gt (-49xx1000)/(-40.2)` `T gt 1219K`, i.e., `946^(@)C`. |
