    Which reaction, with the following values of \[\Delta H,\,\,\Delta S\]at 400 K is spontaneous and endothermic?

    A)  \[\Delta H=-48\,kJ;\,\,\Delta S=+135\,J/K\]

    B)  \[\Delta H=-48\,kJ;\,\,\Delta S=-135\,J/K\]

    C)  \[\Delta H=+48\,kJ;\,\,\Delta S=+135\,J/K\]

    D)  \[\Delta H=+48\,kJ;\,\,\Delta S=-135\,J/K\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    For an endothermic reaction, \[\Delta H=+ve\] and for the spontaneity of a process, \[\Delta G=-ve\]. The correct option must be [c] \[\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S\] = 48000 - 400 \[\times \] 135 = 48000 - 54000 = - 6000 \[Jmo{{l}^{-1}}\] \[\therefore \] Reaction with \[\Delta H=48\] KJ and \[\Delta S=+135\,J/K\] is spontaneous.
