For spontaneous polymerization, which of the following is (are) correct?
- A \(\Delta G\) is negative
- B \(\Delta \mathrm{H}\) is negative
- C \(\Delta \mathrm{S}\) is positive
- D \(\Delta S\) is negative
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\Delta S\) is negative
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Hint: \(\Delta \mathrm{G}\) is negative as process is spontaneous. \(\Delta \mathrm{S}\) is negative due to association. Therefore to make \(\Delta\) G negative, \(\Delta H\) must be negative.
