Correct answer: A
G = H – TS
For a reaction to become spontaneous, G must be
negative.
For case (a) exothermic and increasing disorder
For exothermic reaction,
H = –ve
and increasing disorder,
S = +ve
G = –ve –T(+ve)
Thus, G is negative for all temperature range
For case (b) exothermic and decreasing disorder
For exothermic reaction, H = –ve and for
decreasing disorder,
S = –ve
G = –ve – T(–ve)
Thus, G is not negative for all temperature range.
For case (c) endothermic and increasing disorder.
For endothermic reaction, H = +ve and increasing
disorder,
S = +ve
Thus, G is not negative for all temperature range.
For case (d) endothermic and decreasing disorder
For endothermic reaction,
H = +ve
and decreasing disorder,
S = –ve
G = +ve – T (–ve)
Thus, G is positive for all temperature range.
