Consider the decomposition of yellow mercury(II) oxide. HgO(s, yellow) ⟶ Hg(l) + (1)/(2)O2(g)Calculate the standard free energy change at room temperature, ΔG°298, using (a) standard free energies of formation and (b) standard enthalpies of formation and standard entropies. Do the results indicate the reaction to be spontaneous or nonspontaneous under standard conditions?
