When magnesium sulfite decomposes, the solid transforms into magnesium oxide and sulfur dioxide. The reaction is as follows:
MgSO 3 ( s ) → MgO( s ) + SO 2 ( g )
According to the Gibbs free energy, at what temperature will this reaction be spontaneous?
Δ G in kJ\moles for MgSO 3 ( s ) is − 1172, for MgO( s ) is − 569.6, and for SO 2 ( g ) is − 300.2. Δ H in kJ\moles for MgSO 3 ( s ) is − 1068, for MgO( s ) is − 601.8, and for SO 2 ( g ) is − 296.8. Δ S in J\moles K for MgSO 3 ( s ) is 121, for MgO( s ) is 27, and for SO 2 ( g ) is 248.1.
A) At temperatures below − 63.1 K
B) At temperatures below 179.5 K
C) At temperatures below 415.8 K
D) At temperatures above 1100 K
