NEET2020ChemistryThermodynamics (C)Actual
For the reaction, 2 Cl g → Cl 2 g , the correct option is
Options
- AΔ r H > 0 and Δ r S < 0
- BΔ r H < 0 and Δ r S > 0
- CΔ r H < 0 and Δ r S < 0
- DΔ r H > 0 and Δ r S > 0
Correct answer
C. Δ r H < 0 and Δ r S < 0
Step-by-step solution
2 Cl ( g ) ⟶ Cl 2 ( g ) In this reaction number of gaseous mole decreases hence entropy decreases, Δ r S < 0 Decomposition of Cl 2 into gaseous atoms is an endothermic process. Therefore, its reverse is an exothermic process, Δ r H < 0
