Without doing a calculation, predict which ofthe following statements is true for the reaction?

Question

2 CO(g) + O2(g) 2 CO2(g) H°= 566.0 kJ: *

a) The reaction is not spontaneous at any temperature.
b) The reaction is spontaneous at high temperatures, but not lowtemperatures.
c) The reaction is spontaneous at low temperatures, but not hightemperatures.
d) The reaction is spontaneous at all temperatures. 2 CO(g) + O2(g) 2 CO2(g) H°= 566.0 kJ: *

a) The reaction is not spontaneous at any temperature.
b) The reaction is spontaneous at high temperatures, but not lowtemperatures.
c) The reaction is spontaneous at low temperatures, but not hightemperatures.
d) The reaction is spontaneous at all temperatures.

Explanation / Answer

                       2 CO(g) + O2(g) 2 CO2(g) H° = 566.0kJ:                 Since the reaction is exothermic it does not require any enrgy toinitiate the reaction . So the reaction is spontaneous at alltemperatures.
