CBSEENCH11006095

A reaction straight A plus straight B space rightwards arrow space straight C plus straight D plus straight q is found to have a positive entropy change. The reaction will be

  • possible at high temperature

  • possible only at low temperature
  • not possible at any temperature
  • possible at any temperature

Solution

D.

possible at any temperature Option space left parenthesis iv right parenthesis space is space correct. space
Here space increment straight H space equals space minus ve space and space increment straight S space equals space plus ve
therefore space space space space space increment straight G space equals space increment straight H space minus space straight T increment straight S
For the reaction to be spontaneous, AG should be –ve which will be so at any temperature.
