Question

In the Haber process example at 25°C, ΔG° was calculated as -32.8 kJ. What does this indicate?
Options
A The reaction is nonspontaneous at 25°C
B The reaction is spontaneous at 25°C
Correct Answer
C The reaction is at equilibrium
D The reaction is endothermic
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

ΔG° = -32.8 kJ at 25°C indicates the reaction is spontaneous under standard conditions at that temperature.

Hint

The notes interpret this result.
