Solution

The correct option is A spontaneous only at low temperature
Sign of ΔH Sign of ΔS Comment Example ΔHo298 ΔSo298
+ spontaneous H2(g)+Cl2(g)2HCl(g) 185 14.1
at all temperature C(s)+O2(g)CO2(g) 394 3

spontaneous H2(g)+1/2O2H2O(l) 44 119
at low temperature 2SO2(g)+O2(g)2SO3(g) 198 187

+ + spontaneous NH4Cl(s)NH3(g)+HCl(g) 176 284
at high temperature N2(g)+O2(g)2NO(g) 180 25

+ Non spontaneous 3O22O3 286 137
at all temperature 2H2O(l)+O2(g)2H2O2(l) 196 126
