Over a Wide Temperature Range, the Reaction, M2O3(s)+ C(s) \rarr M(s)+ CO2(g), Is Spontaneous at Low Temperatures but Non-Spontaneous at M(s)

Question 55

Multiple Choice

Over a wide temperature range, the reaction, M2O3(s) + C(s) \rarr M(s) + CO2(g) , is spontaneous at low temperatures but non-spontaneous at high temperatures. If we assume that, since the physical states do not change, the values of Δ\DeltaT and Δ\DeltaT are constant over this temperature range, we can then deduce that


A) Δ\Delta H < 0 and Δ\Delta S > 0.
B) Δ\Delta H < 0 and Δ\Delta S < 0.
C) Δ\Delta H > 0 and Δ\Delta S < 0.
D) Δ\Delta H > 0 and Δ\Delta S > 0.
E) The information is insufficient to make any judgment as to the signs of Δ\Delta H and Δ\Delta S.
