Question:

Elemental boron, in the form of thin fibers, can be made by reducing a boron halide with H₂.
BCl₃(g) + 3⁄2 H₂(g) → B(s) + 3 HCl(g)
Calculate Δ_r H°, Δ_r S°, and Δ_rG° at 25°C for this reaction. Is the reaction predicted to be product favored at equilibrium at 25°C? If so, is it enthalpy- or entropy- driven? [S° for B(s) is 5.86 J/K ∙ mol.]
