For spontaneous polymerization, which of the following is (are) correct?

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

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.
