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?A. `Mg(s)+(1)/(2)O_(2)(g)rarrMgO(s)`B. `(1)/(2)C("graphite")+(1)/(2)O_(2)(g)rarr(1)/(2)CO_(2)(g)`C. `C("graphite")+(1)/(2)O_(2)(g)rarrCO(g)`D. `CO(g)+(1)/(2)O_(2)(g)rarrCO_(2)(g)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`C(s)+(1)/(2)O_(2)(g)rarrCO(g),Deltan+(1)/(2)` .
Also the moles of gases increase and therefore entropy change `(DeltaS)` is positive. An increase in temperature will causes more change in `TDeltaS` . Also it is a combustion reaction and thus `DeltaH=-ve`
Since `DeltaG=DeltaH-TDeltaS`
`=-ve-(+ve)=-ve`
