Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) A process will always be spontaneous at all temperatures, if T\(\Delta\)S is positive

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta S\) For a process to be spontaneous at all temperatures, \(\Delta G\) must be negative at all temperatures. This is possible only when \(\Delta H 0\). If \(\Delta S > 0\) (meaning \(T\Delta S\) is positive) but \(\Delta H > 0\), the process will…
