Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases heat to the surroundings. This indicates that the entropy of the system decreases, as the reactants become more ordered and less energetically favorable. Thus, the entropy change of the reaction is negative. Using the equation ΔG = ΔH - TΔS, we can see that a negative ΔS value will result in a positive ΔG value. Since the reaction is spontaneous, ΔG must be negative, so ΔS must be positive. Therefore, ΔS = -169.2 J/K·mol.
