Question

At 25 °C, the standard free energy change for the gas-phase reaction of hydrogen and nitrogen to form NH3 is –33.0 kJ mol–1.
N2(g) + 3 H2(g) → 2 NH3(g) ∆G° = –33 kJ mol–1
Under what circumstances is ∆G > 0 at 298 K?

A.

Partial pressures of N2 and H2 = 0.1 bar, partial pressure of NH3 = 10 bar

✓ Correct
B.

Partial pressures of N2 and H2 = 10 bar, partial pressure of NH3 = 0.1 bar

C.

All partial pressures = 1 × 10–2 bar

D.

Under no possible circumstances
