For the reaction `2Ag_(2)O(s) rarr 4Ag(s) + O_(2)(g), DeltaH ` is 61.17 `KJ"mol"^(-1)` and `DeltaS` is 132 `JK^(-1) "mol"^(-1)` . Compute the temperature above which the given reaction will be spontaneous.A. `T gt 463.4 K`B. `T gt 190.25^(@) C`C. `T lt 190.25^(@) C`D. `T lt 463.4 K`

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B
The given reaction will be spontaneous when `DeltaG` would be negative when `DeltaH-TDeltaS` is negative . That is ,
`DeltaH-TDeltaS lt 0`
or `TDeltaS gt DeltaH`
or `T gt (DeltaH)/(DeltaS)`
or `T gt (61170 J "mol"^(-1))/(132 JK^(-1) "mol"^(-1))`
or `T gt 463.4 K`
