Question -
The ΔH and ΔS for a reaction at one atmospheric pressure are +30.558 kJ and 0.066 k J k−1 respectively. The temperature at which the free energy change will be zero and below this temperature the nature of reaction would be:
Options:
A .  483 K, spontaneous
B .  443 K, non-spontaneous
C .  443 K, spontaneous
D .  463 K, non-spontaneous
Answer: Option D : D Now, to get T, let's use △G = △H−T△S Here, △H=+30.558KJ △S=0.066kJk−1 △G=0 ⇒0=30.558−T×0.066 ⇒T=30.5580.066=463K Now, at 463 K⇒△G = 0 If we go below 463 K, T△S value will decrease and △G value will become positive. Therefore, non-spontaneous
