NEET 2017 Chemistry Gibbs Free Energy MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

For a given reaction, ΔH = 35.5 kJ mol⁻¹ and ΔS = 83.6 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹. The reaction is spontaneous at ______.

(Assume that ΔH and ΔS do not vary with temperature)

A

T < 425 K

B

T > 425 K

C

all temperatures

D

T > 298 K

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The reaction is spontaneous when ΔG < 0. Using the equation ΔG = ΔH - TΔS, the reaction becomes spontaneous at temperatures greater than 425 K.
