Answer:

0 kJ/mol

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Enthalpy change (ΔH): 27 kJ/mol
  • Entropy change (ΔS): 0.09 kJ/mol.K
  • Absolute temperature (T): 300 K

Step 2: Calculate the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG)

We can calculate the Gibbs free energy change using the following expression.

ΔG = ΔH - T × ΔS

ΔG = 27 kJ/mol - 300 K × 0.09 kJ/mol.K = 0 kJ/mol

Since ΔG = 0 kJ/mol, the process in not spontaneous nor non-spontaneous.
