    For \[A\xrightarrow{{}}B,\,\,\Delta \,H=4\,k\,cal\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\] \[\Delta S=10\,cal\,mo{{l}^{-1}}{{K}^{-1}}\] reaction is spontaneous when temperature can be:

    A)  400 K         

    B)  300 K

    C)  500K         

    D)  none of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: The reaction is spontaneous when value of \[\Delta G\] is negative. Given    \[\Delta S=10\,\,cal\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}}{{K}^{-1}}\]    \[\Delta H=4\,\,kcal\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}}400\,\,cal\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\] Let          \[\Delta G=0\]                 \[\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S\]                 \[0=4000-T\times 10\] or            \[T=\frac{4000}{10}=400\,\,K\] \[\therefore \] Reaction is spontaneous at temperature above 400 K The only choice having temperature above = 400 K is [c] 500 K \[\therefore \] [c] is correct answer
