Chemistry-Gibbs Free Energy
NEET Chemistry Gibbs Free Energy Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 11
Assertion (A): A reaction with positive ΔrH and positive ΔrS is spontaneous at high temperatures. | Reason (R): A positive ΔrS increases the Gibbs energy, making the reaction spontaneous at high temperatures.
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 C
Detailed Explanation
While a reaction with positive ΔrH and positive ΔrS is spontaneous at high temperatures, the reason given is incorrect. A positive ΔrS decreases the Gibbs energy at high temperatures, which is why the reaction becomes spontaneous.
