Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) The change in entropy along with suitable change in enthalpy decides the rate of reaction

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta \mathrm{G}(\mathrm{T}, \mathrm{P})=\Delta \mathrm{H}-\mathrm{T} \Delta \mathrm{S}\) gives the free energy of system. When \(\Delta \mathrm{G}(\mathrm{T}, \mathrm{P})0\), the reaction is non-spontaneous. Hence, entropy changed with a suitable change in enthalpy will…
