Question 17 of 30
For a reaction, AH = -286 kJ. When is the reaction spontaneous?
A. When TAS> 0
B. When TA S= -286 kJ
C. When TAS<-286 kJ
D. When TAS = 2(-286 kJ)


Sagot :

The reaction is spontaneous when TΔS is greater than zero (TΔS>0).

Spontaneous reaction

A spontaneous reaction is determined by applying Gib's free energy formula as follows;

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

A reaction is spontaneous when Gib's free energy is negative.

For the given example, the change in enthalpy is negative (-286 kJ), to obtain a negative Gib's free energy, the entropy must be positive.

Thus, the reaction is spontaneous when TΔS is greater than zero (TΔS>0).
