For a particular reversible reaction at temperature T, H and S were found to be both +ve. If T_ e is the temperature at equilibrium, the reaction would be spontaneous when
Options
- AT_ e >T
- BT>T_ e
- CT_ e is 5 times T
- DT=T_ e
Correct answer
B. T>T_ e
Step-by-step solution
At equilibrium G=0 array l Hence, G= H-T_ e S=0 H=T_ e S or T_ e = H S array For a spontaneous reaction G must be negative which is possible only if H-T S H S ; T_ e
