In 1774 Joseph Priestly prepared oxygen by heating mercury(II) oxide according to the reaction HgO(l) <----> Hg(l) + ½O2(g) ,for which rHo = 90.84 kJ/mol and ΔSo = 108 J/K.mol.Which of the following statements is true for this reaction?
A) The reaction is spontaneous only at low temperatures.
B) The reaction is spontaneous at all temperatures.
C) ΔGo becomes less favorable as temperature increases.
D) The reaction is spontaneous only at high temperatures.
E) The reaction is at equilibrium at 25oC and 1 atm pressure.
