Assignment:
BCl3(g) + NH3(g) <---> Cl3BNH3(s) (<---> represents equilibrium in this case)
The reaction represented above is a reversible reaction.
(a) Predict the sign of the entropy change, ΔS, as the reaction proceeds to the right. Explain your prediction.
(b) If the reaction spontaneously proceeds to the right, predict the sign of the enthalpy change, ΔH. Explain your prediction.
(c) The direction in which the reaction spontaneously proceeds changes as the temperature is increased above a specific temperature. Explain.
(d) What is the value of the equilibrium constant at the temperature referred to in (c); that is, the specific temperature at which the direction of the spontaneous reaction changes? Explain.
Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
