A conceptual problem using
thermodynamics
Problem
Explain why a reaction of the type AB (g) --> A(g) + B(g) would always
be expected to be spontaneous at higher, rather than lower
temperatures.
- Know that bond breaking reactions are always endothermic (
H>0.
- Know that
S>0 for reactions
with more gaseous products than reactants.
- Know that
G<0 for
spontaneous reaction
