The given reaction is as follows:

2NO (g) + O₂ (g) = 2NO₂ (g), ΔH = -114 kJ

It is known that dSsurr = -dHsys / T (Temp = 355 K)

So,  dSsurr = - (-114 × 1000) / 355

dSsurr = +321.12 J/K

Hence, the value of dSsurr is +321.12 J/K

For a reaction to be spontaneous, dG<0,

Also dStotal = dSsys + dSsurr > 0

It is known that dG = dHsys - TdSsys,

Now let us assume,

dG<0

Also, dStotal = dSsys + dSsurr > 0

(-114 × 1000) - (355 × dSsys) <0

355 × dSsys > -114 × 1000

dSsys > -321

dSsys >dSsurr

dSsys + dSsurr > 0

dStotal > 0

Thus, the assumption is correct, and the given reaction is spontaneous. Hence, the final answer is Ssurr = +321 J/K reaction is spontaneous.

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
