The Species in the Reaction, KClO3(s) \rarr KCl(s)+ 3/2 O2(g)have the Values for Standard Enthalpies of Formation

Question 106

Multiple Choice

The species in the reaction, KClO3(s) \rarr KCl(s) + 3/2 O2(g) have the values for standard enthalpies of formation at 25 °C:
KClO3(s) , Δ\Deltaf = -391.2 kJ mol-1
KCl(s) , Δ\Deltaf = -436.8 kJ mol-1
Assume that, since the physical states do not change, the values of Δ\Delta H° and Δ\Delta are constant throughout a broad temperature range, and use this information to determine which of the following conditions may apply.


A) The reaction is spontaneous at all temperatures over a broad temperature range.
B) The reaction is nonspontaneous at all temperatures over a broad temperature range.
C) The reaction is spontaneous at low temperatures but nonspontaneous at high temperatures.
D) The reaction is nonspontaneous at low temperatures but spontaneous at high temperatures.
E) It is impossible to make any judgment about spontaneity because insufficient information can be gleaned from the data and equations presented.
