NEET Chemistry Gibbs Free Energy Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 11

Assertion (A): A reaction with a positive enthalpy change (ΔH) and a positive entropy change (ΔS) can be spontaneous at high temperatures.

Reason (R): Gibbs free energy (ΔG) becomes negative at high temperatures when both ΔH and ΔS are positive.

A

Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true, but R is false.

D

A is false.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

From the NCERT context, a reaction with positive ΔH and ΔS can be spontaneous at high temperatures because ΔG = ΔH - TΔS can become negative if TΔS exceeds ΔH.
