For the reaction given below the value of standard Gibbs free energy of formation at 298 K are given. What is the nature of the reaction? `I_(2)+H_(2)Srarr2HI+S` `DeltaS_(f)^(@)(HI)="1.8 kJ mol"^(-1), DeltaG_(f)^(@)(H_(2)S)="33.8 kJ mol"^(-1)`A. Non-spontaneous in forward direction.B. Spontaneous in forward direction.C. Spontaneous in backward direction.D. Non-spontaneous in both forward and backward directions.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`I_(2)+H_(2)S rarr 2HI +S`
`DeltaG^(@)=SigmaG_(f"(Products)")^(@)-SigmaG_(f"(Reactants)")^(@)`
`DeltaG^(@)=(2xx1.8+0)-(0+33.8)=-"30.2 kJ"`
Hence, reaction is spontaneous in forward direction.
