MCQ
A reaction at $1\,bar$ is non-spontaneous at low temperature but becomes spontaneous at high temperature. Identify the correct statement about the reaction among the following
  • A
    $\Delta H$ is negative while $\Delta S$  is positive
  • B
    Both $\Delta H$ and  are $\Delta S$ negative
  • C
    $\Delta H$ is positive while $\Delta S$ is negative
  • Both  $\Delta H$ and $\Delta S$ are positive

Answer

Correct option: D.
Both  $\Delta H$ and $\Delta S$ are positive
d
$\Delta G\, = \,\Delta H - T\Delta S$

For a spontaneous reaction  $\Delta G = -ve$ which is possible when both $\Delta H$ and $\Delta S$ are positive at high temperature and hence the reaction becomes spontaneous.
