For the reaction at 298 K, $$2 \mathrm{NO}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}(g)$$ the values of $\Delta H^{\circ}$ and $\Delta S^{\circ}$ are $-58.03 \mathrm{kJ}$ and $-176.6 \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{K}$ , respectively. What is the value of $\Delta G^{\circ}$ at 298 $\mathrm{K}$ ? Assuming that $\Delta H^{p}$ and $\Delta S^{\circ}$ do not depend on temperature, at what temperature is $\Delta G^{\circ}=0 ?$ Is $\Delta G^{\circ}$ negative above or below this temperature?

Key Concepts

Gibbs Free Energy

Gibbs free energy is a thermodynamic potential that helps determine whether a chemical reaction will occur spontaneously. It is given by the equation ?G = ?H - T?S, where ?H is the change in enthalpy, T is the absolute temperature, and ?S is the change in entropy. A negative ?G indicates a spontaneous process under constant temperature and pressure conditions.

Enthalpy

Enthalpy represents the total heat content of a system and is a measure of the energy absorbed or released during a reaction at constant pressure. In the context of chemical reactions, a negative enthalpy change (exothermic reaction) typically contributes to making the reaction spontaneous.

Entropy

Entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness in a system. It indicates how the energy is dispersed in a system. In thermodynamic processes, a positive change in entropy favors spontaneity, while a negative change indicates a decrease in randomness, which can oppose spontaneity depending on the temperature.

Temperature Dependence of Reaction Spontaneity

The spontaneity of a reaction depends on the balance between enthalpy and entropy changes as described by the Gibbs free energy equation. Since temperature (T) scales the entropy term, variations in temperature can shift the balance between ?H and T?S, thereby altering whether a reaction is spontaneous.

Equilibrium Temperature

The equilibrium temperature is the specific temperature at which the Gibbs free energy change (?G) becomes zero. At this temperature, the system is at equilibrium and there is no net driving force for the reaction to proceed in either direction. It is found by setting ?G = 0, leading to the relationship T = ?H/?S.
