hey thanks!
yea i get the gibbs free energy concept but in this case it is the formation of salt...
we titerated KOH(25ml) with H2SO...adding 1ml of H2SO4 each time..
now i get what you are saying about whether not every exothermic reaction being spontaneous .. i didnt really see any...
The reaction between
2KOH + H2SO4 -> K2SO4 + 2H2O
is exothermic...
However is this reaction spontaneous as well? If so then why?
the concentration that i used was:
KOH - 2M
H2SO4 - 1M
(I writting a lab report on the "course of this reaction"...spontaniety of the reaction is a...
