The spontaneous reaction is O entropy-driven to the right O enthalpy-driven to the left. O enthalpy-driven to the right O entropy-driven to the left A Previous Check Answer Next Exit Hint

Explanation / Answer

deltaG= dleta G of products- deltaG of reactants = 1*deltaG of C - 1*deltaG of A - 1*deltaG of B

1,1 and 1 are coefficients of C, B and A respectively.

= 402-507.2-387.7= -492.9 Kj/mole

if Gibbs free energy change is -ve, the reactionis spontaneous. at standard conditions, since deltaG is -ve, delta S is +ve. then the reaction is spontaneous. hence entropy driven to the left becomes spontaneous.
