    The balanced chemical reaction is 2Hg + O2 - > 2HgO. To calculate the delta G, we use the formula: ΔG = ΔH - TΔS. The ΔH is computed by subtracting the standard enthalpy of formation of the reactants from the products, multiplied correspondingly with their stoichiometric coefficients. The same is to obtain ΔS.

    The necessary information all at 298 K are:

    ΔH_Hg = 0 kJ/mol; since it is at its standard state

    ΔS_Hg = 75.90 kJ/mol

    ΔH_O2 = 0 kJ/mol; since it is at its standard state

    ΔS_O2 = 0.161 kJ/mol K

    ΔH_HgO = - 90 kJ/mol

    ΔS_HgO = 0.070 kJ/mol K

    Thus, the delta G of reaction is - 132.022 kJ. The negative value denotes a spontaneous reaction.
