COMEDK · Chemistry · 6. Thermodynamics (C)

A reaction is spontaneous at all temperature, when

  1. A \(\Delta H\) is -ve and \(\Delta S\) is + ve
  2. B \(\Delta H\) is + ve and \(\Delta S\) is - ve
  3. C Both \(\Delta H\) and \(\Delta S\) are - ve
  4. D Both \(\Delta H\) and \(\Delta S\) are \(+v e\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\Delta H\) is -ve and \(\Delta S\) is + ve

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For a reaction to be spontaneous change in Gibbs free energy should be negative. i.e. \(\Delta G=\Delta H-T \Delta S 0\) So, \(\Delta H=-\) ve and \(\Delta S=+\) ve
