Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 11th Chemistry - Chapter Thermodynamics. This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Exercise 1, Question 6: a reaction a b rarr c d q is found to hav....
Question 6

A reaction, A + B → C + D + q is found to have a positive entropy change. The reaction will be

(i) possible at high temperature

(ii) possible only at low temperature

(iii) not possible at any temperature

(iv) possible at any temperature

Answer

For a reaction to be spontaneous, ΔG should be negative.

ΔG = ΔH- TΔS

According to the question, for the given reaction,

ΔS = positive

ΔH= negative (since heat is evolved)

⇒ ΔG= negative

Therefore, the reaction is spontaneous at any temperature. Hence, answer is (iv).
