For a spontaneous reaction at all temperatures which of the following is correct?

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\Delta \mathrm{H}\) is negative and \(\Delta \mathrm{S}\) is positive

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For spontancity \(\Delta G\) must be negative \(\because \Delta \mathrm{G}=\Delta \mathrm{H}-\mathrm{T} \Delta \mathrm{S}\) To be negative at all Temperature, \(\Delta \mathrm{H} 0\)
