Question

Li3N(s) + 2 H2(g) <-> LiNH2(s) + 2 LiH(s) dH° = -192 kJ/mol_rxn

Because pure H2 is a hazardous substance, safer and more cost effective techniques to store it as a solid for shipping purposes have been developed. One such method is the reaction represented above, which occurs at 200°C.

Which of the following is the most likely reason that the reaction occurs at a significant rate only if the temperature of the reaction mixture is greater than 200°C?

A.

The reaction is exothermic.

B.

dS° for the reaction is negative.

C.

The reaction has a high activation energy.

✓ Correct
D.

dG° < 0 when T < 200°C.
