For a reversible reaction,
\[
X(g)+3 Y(g) \rightleftharpoons 2 Z(g)
\]
\(\Delta H=-40 \mathrm{~kJ}\) the standard entropies of \(X, Y\) and \(Z\) are 60,40 and \(50 \mathrm{JK}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) respectively.
The temperature at which the above reaction attains equilibrium is about

  1. A \(400 \mathrm{~K}\)
  2. B \(500 \mathrm{~K}\)
  3. C \(273 \mathrm{~K}\)
  4. D \(373 \mathrm{~K}\)
Verified Solution
