Which of the following pairs of a chemical reaction is certain to result in a spontaneous reaction?

Options

  1. AExothermic and increasing disorder
  2. BExothermic and decreasing disorder
  3. CEndothermic and increasing disorder
  4. DEndothermic and decreasing disorder

Correct answer

A. Exothermic and increasing disorder

Step-by-step solution

ΔG   <   0 . As per Gibbs Helmholtz equation, ΔG   =   ΔH − TΔS Thus ΔG is –ve only When ΔH   =   − ve (exothermic) and ΔS   =   +ve (increasing disorder) This reaction will be spontaneous at all Temperatures.
