Question
Enthalpy diagram for a particular reaction is given in Fig. Is it possible to decide spontaneity of a reaction from given diagram. Explain.
✓

Answer

No. Enthalpy is one of the contributory factors in deciding spontaneity but it is not the only factor. One must look for contribution of another factor i.e., entropy also, for getting the correct result.
