Q14. A reaction, A + B → C + D + q is found to have a positive entropy change. The reaction will be- (a) possible at high temperature
- (b) possible only at low temperature
- (c) not possible at any temperature
- (d) possible at any temperature
Solution.
(d): A + B → C + D + q, ΔS = +ve
Here, ΔH = -ve
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS
For reaction to be spontaneous, ΔG should be -ve. As ΔH = -ve and ΔS is +ve, ΔG will be -ve at any temperature.
Q15. In a process, 701 J of heat is absorbed by a system and 394 S of work is done by the system. What is the change in internal energy for the process?
