Solution
The correct option is C
Statement 1 is
correct but Statement 2 is not correct.
Statement1 : When the ΔG of a reaction at a given temperature is negative, the reaction occurs spontaneously. For non spontaneous reaction ΔG is positive. For equilibrium reaction, ΔG is zero. Statement 2: When ΔG is negative, ΔH may or may not be negative. If ΔH is positive, ΔS has negative value so that TΔS is more negative than ΔH so that ΔG becomes negative. Statement 1 is correct but Statement 2 is not correct.
