For the gas phase reaction `PCl_(5)rarrPCl_(3)(g)+Cl_(2)(g)` which of the following conditions are correct?A. `DeltaH=0` and `DeltaSlt 0`B. `DeltaHgt0` and `DeltaSgt 0`C. `DeltaHlt 0` and `DeltaSlt 0`D. `DeltaHgt 0` and `DeltaSlt 0`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`DeltaH=DeltaE+ngRT`
For the reaction,
`Deltan=2-1=1`
Thus, the value of `DeltaH` is positive or `gt 0` .
`DeltaG=DeltaH-TDeltaS`
For a spontaneous reaction, `DeltaG` must be negative. Since in this reaction `DeltaH` is positive, so for the negative value o0f `DeltaG , DeltaS` must be positive or `gt 0` .
Hence `DeltaHgt 0 , DeltaSgt 0`
