उत्तर
1. For the process to be spontaneous, `triangle "S"_"total" = triangle "S"_"sys" + triangle "S"_"surr" > 0`.
2. For the reaction, 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(l), when 2 moles of H2 and 1 mole of O2 gas combine to form 2 moles of liquid water, 572 kJ of heat is released which is received by surroundings at constant pressure (and 298 K).
3. The entropy change of the surroundings is,
`triangle "S"_"surr" = ("Q"_"rev")/"T" = (572 xx 10^3 "J")/(298 "K")` = + 1919 J K-1
4. The total enthalpy change is,
`triangle "S"_"total" = triangle "S"_"sys" + triangle "S"_"surr"`
= - 327 J K-1 + 1919 J K-1
= + 1592 J K-1
5. Since `triangle "S"_"total"` > 0, the reaction is spontaneous at 25 °C.
6. It follows that to decide spontaneity of reactions, we need to consider the entropy of system and its surroundings.
