Question

For the synthesis of ammonia at 100°C with given nonstandard pressures, ΔG was calculated as -77 kJ/mol. What does this indicate?
Options
A The reaction is nonspontaneous under these nonstandard conditions
B The reaction is spontaneous under these nonstandard conditions
Correct Answer
C The reaction is at equilibrium
D The reaction quotient Q = K
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

ΔG ≈ -77 kJ/mol under the given nonstandard conditions (P_N₂ = 2.00 atm, P_H₂ = 7.00 atm, P_NH₃ = 0.021 atm) indicates the reaction is spontaneous forward under these conditions.

Hint

The notes provide this calculation and interpretation.
