  • question_answer
    Which of the following pairs of processes is certain to occur in a spontaneous chemical reaction?

    A) Exothermic and increasing disorder

    B) Exothermic and decreasing disorder

    C) Endothermic and increasing disorder

    D) Endothermic and decreasing disorder

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Measure of disorder of a system is nothing but entropy.
    For a spontaneous reaction,\[\Delta G<0\]. As per Gibbs Helmholtz equation,
    \[\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S\]
    Thus \[\Delta G\] is \[-ve\]only
    When \[\Delta H=-ve\] (exothermic)
    and \[\Delta S=+ve\](increasing disorder)
