Use the tables in the text to determine whether each reaction is spontaneous under standard conditions. If a reaction is not spontaneous, write the corresponding spontaneous reaction. K2O2 (s) → 2K (s) + O2(g) PbCO3 (s) → PbO (s) + CO2 (g) P4 (s) + 6H2(g) → 4PH3 (g) 2AgCl (s) + H2S (g) → Ag2S (s) + 2HCl (g)
