                    A reaction occurs spontaneously if:                                                                                                        

    A)                  \[T\Delta S<\Delta H\]and both \[\Delta H\] and \[\Delta S\] are +ve    

    B)                 \[T\Delta S>\Delta H\] and both \[\Delta H\] and \[\Delta S\] are +ve

    C)                 \[T\Delta S=\Delta H\]and both \[\Delta H\] and \[\Delta S\] are +ve

    D)                 \[T\Delta S>\Delta H\] and \[\Delta H\] is + ve and \[\Delta S\] is ?ve

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    The spontaneity of reaction is based upon the negative value of \[\Delta G,\,\,\Delta G\] is based upon \[T,\,\,\Delta S\] and  \[\Delta H\]  according to following equation (Gibbs-Helmholtz equation)                 \[\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S\]                 If the magnitude of \[\Delta H-T\Delta S\] is negative, then the reaction is spontaneous, when \[T\Delta S>\Delta H\] and \[\Delta H\] and   \[\Delta S\] are +ve, then \[\Delta G\] is negative.
