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

Let us consider an endothermic reaction which is non-spontaneous at the freezing point of water. However, the reaction is spontaneous at boiling point of water. Choose the correct option.

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Both \(\Delta \mathrm{H}\) and \(\Delta \mathrm{S}\) are (+ve)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

On increasing temperature, the given endothermic reaction becomes spontaneous. \(\Delta G=\Delta H-T \Delta S\) For spontaneity, \(\Delta \mathrm{G} 0\) So, \(\Delta \mathrm{S}\) should be +ve.
