Question

In which set of conditions would result in a spontaneous reaction?

A. An exothermic reaction; an increase in entropy; at any temperature
B. An endothermic reaction; a decrease in entropy; at any temperature
C. An exothermic reaction; a decrease in entropy; at high temperatures
D. An endothermic reaction; an increase in entropy; at low temperatures

Answer 1

Answer 2

you need to assess each scenario with: \(\sf \Delta G=\underbrace{\Delta H}_{-thermic}-T\Delta S\)

Answer 3

spontaneity requires that \(\Delta G<0\)

Answer 4

so A
