The change in Gibbs free energy `(DeltaG)` of the system along provides a criterion for the spontaneity of a process at constant temperature and pressure. A change in the free energy of a system at constant temperature and pressure will be: `DeltaG_("system")=DeltaH_("system")-TDeltaS_("system")` At constant temperature and pressure: `DeltaG_("system")lt0` (Spontaneous) `DeltaG_("system")=0` (equilibrium) `DeltaG_("system")gt0` (non-spontaneous) Free energy is related to the equilibrium constant as: `DeltaG^(@)=2.303RTlog_(10)K_(e)`. Q. A reaction has positive values of `DeltaH and DeltaS`. From this you can deduce that the reaction:A. must be spontaneous at any temperature.B. cannot be spontaneous at any temperature.C. Will be spontaneous only at low temperatureD. will be spontaneous only at high temperature. |
