Solution
The correct option is
D
Insufficient information to make a conclusion
Since the energy of the system decreases during an exothermic reaction.
The products of the system are more stable
than the reactants.
However,endothermic reaction do occur spontaneously.
Δ
G
=

H
−
T
Δ
S
We should also have the value of enthalpy change so that to check spontaneity.

Q.
Free energy,
G
=
H
−
T
Δ
S
, is a state function that indicates whether a reaction is spontaneous or non-spontaneous. If you think of
T
S
as the part of the system`s energy that is disordered already, then
(
H
−
T
S
)
is the part of the system`s energy that is still ordered and therefore free to cause spontaneous change by becoming disordered.

From the second law of Thermodynamics, a reaction is spontaneous if
Δ
t
o
t
a
l
S
is positive, non-spontaneous if
Δ
t
o
t
a
l
S
is negative, and at equilibrium if
Δ
t
o
t
a
l
S
is zero.
Since,
−
T
Δ
S
=
Δ
G
and since
Δ
G
and
Δ
S
have opposite signs, we can restate the Thermodynamic criterion for the spontaneity of a reaction carried out at a constant temperature and pressure.
If
Δ
G
<
0
, the reaction is spontaneous
If
Δ
G
>
0
, the reaction is non-spontaneous
If
Δ
G
=
0
, the reaction is at equilibrium
Read the above paragraph carefully and answer the following questions based on the above comprehension.
If an endothermic reaction is non-spontaneous at freezing point of water and becomes feasible at its boiling point, then:
