The condition of spontaneity of a process is

  1. A lowering of enthropy at constant temperature and pressure
  2. B lowering of Gibbs free energy of system at constant temperature and pressure
  3. C increase of entropy of system at constant temperature and pressure
  4. D increase of Gibbs free energy of the universe at constant temperature and pressure
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) lowering of Gibbs free energy of system at constant temperature and pressure

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From Gibbs Helmholtz equation, \[ \Delta G=\Delta H-T \Delta S \] A process will be spontaneous, if \[ \Delta G=-\text { ve } \]
