Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 11

Assertion (A): For a reaction where both enthalpy and entropy changes are positive, the reaction is spontaneous at high temperatures. Reason (R): A positive entropy change indicates an increase in the disorder of the system.

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.
