MCQ
A process will be spontaneous at all temperatures if
  • A
    $\Delta H < 0$ and $\Delta S < 0$
  • $\Delta H < 0$ and $\Delta S > 0$
  • C
    $\Delta H > 0$ and $\Delta S > 0$
  • D
    $\Delta H > 0$ and $\Delta S < 0$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\Delta H < 0$ and $\Delta S > 0$
b
At constant $P$ and $T$ and for the process to be spontaneous we should have $\Delta G = -ve$ and we know that $\Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta S$

If $\Delta H = -ve$ and $\Delta S = +ve$ then at all the temperature the process will be spontaneous.
