Correct answer: 2
-
For a graph of Gibbs free energy vs extent of reaction :
- The reaction proceeds spontaneously in the direction in which decreases.
- At equilibrium, is minimum, so:
-
Interpreting the usual vs extent of reaction curve:
- Point is the minimum of the curve equilibrium.
- Point lies to the left of the minimum. Moving forward in reaction decreases , so reaction is spontaneous.
- Point lies to the right of the minimum. Further forward progress increases , so in the forward direction reaction is non-spontaneous.
-
Now check each statement:
A. Reaction is spontaneous at and
- At : true
- At : false, because is equilibrium
So, A is false.
B. Reaction is at equilibrium at point and non-spontaneous at point
- equilibrium: true
- non-spontaneous (forward direction): true
So, B is true.
C. Reaction is spontaneous at and non-spontaneous at
- spontaneous: true
- non-spontaneous: true
So, C is true.
D. Reaction is non-spontaneous at and
- is spontaneous, so false
- is equilibrium, not spontaneous
Hence D is false.
-
Therefore, the true statements are:
So, the number of true statements is:
