For a reaction to be spontaneous, the required conditions are

  1. A \(\Delta_r H^{\circ}=-\) ve, \(\Delta_r S^{\circ}=-\) ve, at high \(T\).
  2. B \(\Delta_r H^{\circ}=+\) ve, \(\Delta_r S^{\circ}=+\) ve, at high \(T\).
  3. C \(\Delta_r H^{\circ}=+\) ve, \(\Delta_r S^{\circ}=+\) ve, at low \(T\).
  4. D \(\Delta_r H^{\circ}=+\) ve, \(\Delta_r S^{\circ}=-\) ve, at all \(T\).

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\Delta_r H^{\circ}=+\) ve, \(\Delta_r S^{\circ}=+\) ve, at high \(T\).

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Depending upon the sign and magnitude of \(\Delta H\) and \(-T \Delta S\), the sum of these terms determines the sign of \(\Delta G\). This sign of \(\Delta G\) will determine i.e. if \(\Delta G\) is negative then the reaction is spontaneous and if \(\Delta G\) is positive then…
