NEETChemistryThermodynamics (C)
Two processes are mentioned- (a) Throwing a stone from the ground to roof. (b) (½) H 2 (g) + (½) Cl 2 (g) ⇌ HCl(g) ; ∆ r H ⊖ = –92.32 kJ mol –1 In which of the processes potential energy/enthalpy change is contributing factor to the spontaneity?
Options
- AAmongst those two processes, in the reaction [A], enthalpy change (i.e. ΔH) is a contributing factor to the sp
- BIn both the processes,potential energy/enthalpy change is contributing factor to the spontaneity
- CAmongst those two processes, in the reaction [B], enthalpy change (i.e. ΔH) is a contributing factor to the sp
- DIn none of the processes,potential energy/enthalpy change is contributing factor to the spontaneity.
Correct answer
C. Amongst those two processes, in the reaction [B], enthalpy change (i.e. ΔH) is a contributing factor to the sp
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (C) Amongst those two processes, in the reaction [B], enthalpy change (i.e. ΔH) is a contributing factor to the spontaneity, as negative value of enthalpy change favours the negative value of gibbs free energy change, which led to the spontaneous reaction.
