Consider the following reaction for the decomposition of sodium bicarbonate:2 NaHCO3(s) → Na2CO3(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)The ∆rH0 and ∆rS0 for this reaction have values of 85.2 kJ/mol and 215 J/K-mol, respectively. What is the minimum temperature required for an NaHCO3(s) sample to spontaneously decompose into the products shown above (under 1 bar pressure conditions)?
