In which of the following reactions, standard reaction entropy change (DeltaS^(@)) is positive and standard Gibb's energy change (DeltaG^(@)) decreases sharply with increasing temperature?

Answer»

`C ("graphite") + 1/2O_(2)(g) to CO(g)`
`CO(g) + 1/2 O_(2)(g) to CO_(2)(s)`
`Mg_(s) + 1/2O_(2)(g) to MGO(s)`
`1/2C("graphite") + 1/2 O_(2)(g) to 1/2 CO_(2)(g)`

Solution :`C(GR) + 1/2O_(2)(g) to CO(g)`
Since `DeltaN_(g) = 1- 1/2 = + ve`
`DeltaS = + ve`
`DELTAG = DeltaH -TDeltaS`
Since `DeltaS` is + ve, increase in TEMPERATURE will make `TDeltaS` more negative and `DeltaG` will decrease with increasing temperature.
