NEET · Chemistry · STD 11 - 5. Thermodynamics and thermochemistry

For a given reaction, \(\Delta H = 35.5\ kJ\ mol^{-1}\) and \(\Delta S = 83.6\ J\ K^{-1} \  mol^{-1}.\) The reaction is spontaneous at (Assume that \(\Delta H\) and \(\Delta S\) do not vary with temperature.)

  1. A \(T > 425\ K\)
  2. B all temperatures
  3. C \(T > 298 \ K\)
  4. D \(T < 425\ K\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(T > 425\ K\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta \mathrm{G}=\Delta \mathrm{H}-\mathrm{T} \Delta \mathrm{S}\) for equilibrium \(\Delta \mathrm{G}=0,\Delta \mathrm{H}=\mathrm{T} \Delta \mathrm{S}\)
