NEET2017ChemistryThermodynamics (C)Actual
When the heat of reaction at constant pressure is -2.5 10^3 cal and entropy change is 7.4 cal deg ⁻¹ at 25^ C , the reaction is predicted as
Options
- Areversible
- Bspontaneous
- Cnon-spontaneous
- Dirreversible
Correct answer
B. spontaneous
Step-by-step solution
For the reaction at constant pressure, aligned & H=-2.5 10^3 cal & S=7.4 cal deg ⁻¹ & G= H-T S=(-) 2.5 10^3-298 7.4 & =(-) 2.5 10^3-2205.2 & G=-4705 cal & aligned Reaction is spontaneous.
