Determine the signs of ∆H, ∆G, ∆S for the reaction: N2(g) → 2N(g)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the signs of ΔH, ΔG, and ΔS for the reaction N2(g) → 2N(g). Participants note that there is no phase change, temperature, or volume change, complicating the analysis. The presence of diatomic nitrogen (N2) in nature suggests that the reaction is not spontaneous, indicating a positive ΔG. The breakdown of N2 into atomic nitrogen (N) is endothermic, leading to a positive ΔH. Overall, the reaction is characterized by an increase in entropy, resulting in a positive ΔS.

Homework Statement
Determine the signs of ∆H, ∆G, ∆S for the reaction: N2(g) → 2N(g) Assume standard conditions and temperature = 25 oC
Relevant Equations
∆G=∆H-T∆S
Hello are you able to explain the two incorrect ones. I am not sure how to do this as there is no phase change involved, nor is there a temperature or volume change.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
