JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 5. Thermodynamics and thermochemistry

A reaction at \(1\,bar\) is non-spontaneous at low temperature but becomes spontaneous at high temperature. Identify the correct statement about the reaction among the following

  1. A \(\Delta H\) is negative while \(\Delta S\)  is positive
  2. B Both \(\Delta H\) and  are \(\Delta S\) negative
  3. C \(\Delta H\) is positive while \(\Delta S\) is negative
  4. D Both  \(\Delta H\) and \(\Delta S\) are positive
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Both  \(\Delta H\) and \(\Delta S\) are positive

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta G\, = \,\Delta H - T\Delta S\) For a spontaneous reaction \(\Delta G = -ve\) which is possible when both \(\Delta H\) and \(\Delta S\) are positive at high temperature and hence the reaction becomes spontaneous.
