AIPMT PRELIMS 2005 Chemistry Spontaneity of Reactions MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

A reaction occurs spontaneously if:

A

TΔS < ΔH and both ΔH and ΔS are +ve

B

TΔS > ΔH and both ΔH and ΔS are +ve

C

TΔS = ΔH and both ΔH and ΔS are +ve

D

TΔS > ΔH and ΔH is +ve and ΔS is -ve

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

A reaction is spontaneous when the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG = ΔH - TΔS) is negative. This occurs when TΔS > ΔH.
