A reaction occurs spontaneously if
Options
- AT S H and both H and S are + ve
- BT S H and both H and S are + ve
- CT S= H and both H and S are + ve
- DT S H and H is + ve and S is - ve
Correct answer
B. T S H and both H and S are + ve
Step-by-step solution
The spontaneity of reaction is based upon the negative value of G, G is based upon T, S and H according to following equation (Gibbs-Helmholtz equation) G= H-T S If the magnitude of H-T S is negative, then the reaction is spontaneous. when T S H and H and S are + ve, then G is negative.
