An exothermic reaction `A rarr B` is spontaneous in the backward direction. What will be the sign of `DeltaS` for the forward reaction ?

Answer» Backward reaction will be endothermic . Thus, energy factor opposesthe backward reaction. As backward reaction is spontaneous , randomness factor must favour, i.e.,`DeltaS` will be`+ve` for the backward reaction orit will be `-ve` for forward reaction.
