MCQ
For a given reaction, $\Delta\text{H}=35.5\text{kJ mol}^{-1}$ and $\Delta\text{S}=83.6\text{Jk}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}.$ The reaction is spontaneous at $($assume that $\Delta\text{H}$ and $\Delta\text{S}$ do not vary with temperature$)$
  • A
    $T > 425K$
  • All temperature
  • C
    $T > 298K$
  • D
    $T < 425K$

Answer

Correct option: B.
All temperature
$\Delta\text{G}=\Delta\text{H}-\text{T}\Delta\text{S}$
$=0=35.5\times1000\text{J}-\text{T}\times83.6\text{Jk}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}$
$\Rightarrow\text{T}=\frac{35500}{83.6}=425\text{K}$
Above $425K, \Delta\text{G}=-\text{ve},$ therefore process will be spontaneous above $425K.$
