    The tendency of a reaction to take place spontaneously is greatest when the reaction is

    A) Exothermic and randomness increases

    B) Endothermic & randomness increases

    C) Exothermic and randomness decreases

    D) Endothermic & randomness decreases

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] For exothermic reaction \[\Delta H=-ve\] and if randomness increases it means \[\Delta S\] becomes positive. Thus according to \[\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S;\,\Delta G\] becomes \[-ve,\] so the reaction is spontaneous.
