1. Which statement is
not correct?
You can increase entropy and still have a spontaneous reaction.
If there is a decrease in the energy of the system, the reaction is
spontaneous.
Spontaneous reactions will tend to maximize entropy and
minimize the enthalpy at a given temperature
Entropy can drive a reaction that is strongly endothermic.
Which statement is not correct? You can increase entropy and still have a spontaneous reaction.
If there is a decrease in the energy of the system, the reaction is spontaneous Spontaneous
reactions will tend to maximize entropy and minimize the enthalpy at a given temperature
Entropy can drive a reaction that is strongly endothermic
Solution
last statement is not correct.
we know,
?G° = ?H° ? T?S°
for endothermic reaction, ?H° = (+) ve
as there is strongly endothermic, so delta H have larger positive value.
so spontaneity of reaction decreases.
