NEET Chemistry Gibbs Free Energy MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 11

Consider a diagram showing the effect of temperature on the spontaneity of reactions, as summarized in Table 5.4. Which of the following combinations of ΔrH0\Delta_r H^0, ΔrS0\Delta_r S^0, and ΔrG0\Delta_r G^0 represents a reaction that is spontaneous at high temperature but nonspontaneous at low temperature?

Question diagram
A

ΔrH0>0\Delta_r H^0 > 0, ΔrS0>0\Delta_r S^0 > 0, ΔrG0<0\Delta_r G^0 < 0 at high T

B

ΔrH0<0\Delta_r H^0 < 0, ΔrS0<0\Delta_r S^0 < 0, ΔrG0<0\Delta_r G^0 < 0 at low T

C

ΔrH0<0\Delta_r H^0 < 0, ΔrS0>0\Delta_r S^0 > 0, ΔrG0<0\Delta_r G^0 < 0 at all T

D

ΔrH0>0\Delta_r H^0 > 0, ΔrS0<0\Delta_r S^0 < 0, ΔrG0>0\Delta_r G^0 > 0 at all T

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Option A reflects a positive enthalpy and entropy change, making the reaction spontaneous at high temperatures as ΔrG0\Delta_r G^0 becomes negative. This aligns with the context from Table 5.4.
