The process is spontaneous at the given temperature, if
Options
- AH is +ve and S is -ve
- BH is -ve and S is +ve
- CH is +ve and S is +ve
- DH is +ve and S is equal to zero
Correct answer
B. H is -ve and S is +ve
Step-by-step solution
According to Gibbs' energy equation G= H-T S when H is negatie but T S is positive, i.e., energy factor as well as the randomness factor favour the process. The process will be highly spontaneous and G will be highly negative.
