For a certain reaction, $\Delta H = -50 \text{ kJ}$ and $\Delta S = -100 \text{ J/K}$. Find the temperature range at which the reaction is spontaneous.

In the conversion of limestone to lime,$CaCO_{3(s)} \rightarrow CaO_{(s)} + CO_{2(g)}$,the values of $\Delta H^{\circ}$ and $\Delta S^{\circ}$ are $+179.1 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ and $160.2 \ J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$ respectively at $298 \ K$ and $1 \ bar$. Assuming that $\Delta H^{\circ}$ and $\Delta S^{\circ}$ do not change with temperature,the temperature above which the conversion of limestone to lime will be spontaneous is ........... $K$.

The entropy and enthalpy changes for the reaction $CO_{(g)} + H_2O_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons CO_{2(g)} + H_{2(g)}$ at $300 \ K$ and $1 \ atm$ are respectively $-42.4 \ J \ K^{-1}$ and $-41.2 \ kJ$. The temperature at which the reaction will go in the reverse direction is (in $K$)

For the reaction $A \to B$,$\Delta H = 4 \, kcal \, mol^{-1}$ and $\Delta S = 10 \, cal \, K^{-1} \, mol^{-1}$. At what temperature $(K)$ will the reaction become spontaneous?

For a reaction $A + B \rightarrow$ products,$\Delta H = -84.2 \ kJ$ and $\Delta S = -200 \ J \ K^{-1}$. Calculate the highest value of temperature (in $K$) so that the reaction will proceed in the forward direction.
