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` |
