dGorxn = (n*dGo formation products) = (n*dGo formation reactants)
dGorxn - is spontaneous.
dGorxn + is not spontaneous.
dGorxn = 0 reaction is at equilibrium.
Consider the following reaction:
2NO(g)+O2(g)→2NO2(g)
Estimate ΔG∘ for this reaction at each of the following temperatures and predict whether or not the reaction will be spontaneous. (Assume that ΔH∘ and ΔS∘ do not change too much within the give temperature range.)
