Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\Delta \mathrm{G} \lt 0, \Delta \mathrm{H} \lt 0, \Delta \mathrm{S} \lt 0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hint : \(n A \rightarrow A_n\) During spontaneous polymerisation reaction number of particles decreases, hence entropy decreases. Being spontaneous \(\Delta \mathrm{G}\) of the reaction is less than zero. \(\Delta \mathrm{G}=\Delta \mathrm{H}-\mathrm{T} \Delta \mathrm{S}\) To…
