For the reaction $2X_{(g)} + Y_{(g)} \to 2Z_{(g)}$ at $298 \ K$,$\Delta U = -10.5 \ kJ$ and $\Delta S^o = -10.5 \ J/K$. Calculate $\Delta G^o$ for the reaction. Will the reaction be spontaneous or not? Explain.

  • A
    $\Delta G^o = +0.193 \ kJ$,Non-spontaneous
  • B
    $\Delta G^o = -0.193 \ kJ$,Spontaneous
  • C
    $\Delta G^o = +10.5 \ kJ$,Non-spontaneous
  • D
    $\Delta G^o = -10.5 \ kJ$,Spontaneous
