Question
For the gaseous equilibrium represented below, it is observed that greater amounts of PCl3 and Cl2 are produced as the temperature is increased.
PCl5 (g) <==> PCl3 (g) + Cl2 (g)
a) what is the sign of delta S for the reaction? Provide a legitimate rationale for the correct answer.
b) what change, if any, will occur in delta G° for the reaction as the temperature is increased? Provide a legitimate rationale for the correct answer.
