Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false,if false correct it. A.) The feasibility of manufacturing NH3 (g)from N2 (g) depends entirely on the value of H for theprocess N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) 2 NH3 (g). B.) The reaction of H2(g) with Cl2 (g) to from HCl (g) is an example of a spontaneousprocess. C.) A spontaneous process is one that occurs rapidly. D.)A process that is nonspontaneous in one direction is spontaneous inthe opposite direction. E.) Spontaneous process are those that areexothermic and that lead to a higher degree of order in thesystem.
Explanation / Answer
A.) The feasibility of manufacturing NH3 (g) from N2 (g)depends entirely on the value of H for the process N2(g) + 3 H2 (g) 2 NH3(g). - False. ( The feasibility dependsupon the value of G) B.) The reaction of H2 (g) withCl2 (g) to form HCl (g) is an example of a spontaneous process. -True C.) A spontaneous process is onethat occurs rapidly. - False (A spontaneous reaction can alsoproceed very slowly) D.) A process that isnonspontaneous in one direction is spontaneous in the oppositedirection. - True E.) Spontaneous process are thosethat are exothermic and that lead to a higher degree of order inthe system. -False (Spontaneous reactions can also be endothermic,and absorb energy from the surroundings).
