So, can you find the temperature at which this reaction will be spontaneous?

In summary, the conversation discusses two questions related to chemical reactions and thermodynamics. The first question asks for the temperature at which a reaction will become spontaneous under standard conditions, while the second question involves calculating the amount of a compound that will dissolve in a certain volume of solution. The suggested approach for both questions involves using equations and data from a textbook to find the desired values.

Well, I've been impressed - to say the least - with how quickly my questions have been answered. So, here are two more:

N2O4 --> 2NO2

Under standard conditions: Delta G is 2.8 kJ. What temp will make it spontaneous?

And

What amount of Cd(OH)2 will dissolved in 1.00 x 10^2 L of aq. solution?

Any takers? Thanks in advance

You'll simply need to find an appropriate equation for this one. Suggest one to us.

What amount of Cd(OH)2 will dissolved in 1.00 x 10^2 L of aq. solution?

This is also a basic problem. What's the Ksp? What can you do from there?

G=H-TS

You should have a table of standard state enthalpy and entropy data somewhere in your book, probably the back. Thus calculate delta H and delta S for the reaction. In order to find a temperature to make the reaction spontaneous you want H-TS<0 or H<TS or T<H/S (be careful of the sign here, you may have to flip it if S is negative).
