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

    A)  Exothermic and decreasing disorder

    B)  Endothermic and increasing disorder

    C)  Exothermic and increasing disorder

    D)   Endothermic and decreasing disorder

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    For a spontaneous reaction,\[\Delta G=-ve.\] From Gibbs -Helmholtz equation                 \[\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S\] \[\Delta G=-ve\], when\[\Delta H=-ve\]and\[\Delta G=-ve\]. For\[\Delta H=-ve,\] reaction should be exothermic and \[\Delta S=+ve\] for increase in disorder.
