In

,
If
there
is
an

in
entropy
,
i
.
e
.
∆
S
is
+
ve
then

If
∆
S
is
-

then
reaction
will
be
non

spontaneous
.
In

,
∆
G
is
-
ve
for
spontaneous
reaction
∆
G
=
+
ve
for

For a spontaneous process, the change in Gibbs function is equal to the:
Q.
Assertion :The thermodynamic factor which determines the spontaneity of a process is the free energy. For a process to be spontaneous the free energy must be -ve Reason: The change in free energy is related to the change in enthalpy and change in entropy. The change in entropy for a process must always be positive if it is spontaneous.
Q.
Statement I: A reaction with a positive enthalpy and a negative entropy will be spontaneous

Gibbs-Helmholtz equation relates the free energy change to the enthalpy and entropy changes of the process as

The magnitude of

H
does not change much with the change in temperature but the entropy factor

changes appreciably. Thus, spontaneity of a process depends very much on temperature.
