Which of the following is not correct?

Which of the following is not correct?

Options

  1. AΔG\Delta G is negative for a spontaneous reaction
  2. BΔG\Delta G is positive for a spontaneous reaction
  3. CΔG\Delta G is zero for a reversible reaction
  4. DΔG\Delta G is positive for a non-spontaneous reaction

Correct answer

B. ΔG\Delta G is positive for a spontaneous reaction

Step-by-step solution

∆G∆ G can be expressed as:

∆G=∆H−T∆S∆ G = ∆ H - T ∆ S

where ∆G∆ G is the change in free energy

∆H∆ H is the change in enthalpy

TT is the temperature

∆S∆ S is the change in entropy.

Conditions for spontaneous and non spontaneous reactions in terms of free energy change are as follows,

 ΔG>0\Delta G >0for non-sponateneous reaction

ΔG<0\Delta G < 0for spontaneous reaction.

ΔG=0\Delta G = 0 for equilibrium reaction

(ΔG)P,T=(+)ve( \Delta G{)}_{P, T} = ( + ) ve for non-spontaneous process

Hence option B is the answer.
