ΔG{reaction} -

\Delta G _{reaction }= \sum \Delta G_{product}- \sum \Delta G_{reactant}
 

- wherein

\sum \Delta G_{product}=Sum of   \Delta G of all product

\sum \Delta G_{reactant}=Sum of   \Delta G of all reactant

 

 

Gibb's free energy (Δ G) -

\Delta G= \Delta H-T \Delta S
 

- wherein

\Delta G= Gibb's free energy

\Delta H= enthalpy of reaction

\Delta S= entropy

T= temperature

 

 

Spontanous process -

\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S

 

- wherein

For spontanouse process \Delta G must be negative.

\Delta H-T\Delta S<O

T>\frac{\Delta H}{\Delta S}

T>\frac{491.1\times 1000}{198}

T>2480.3 K

 


Option 1)

2380.5 K 

Option 2)

2480.3 K

Option 3)

2040.5 K 

Option 4)
