If the standard enthalpy change 
for a certain reaction at 
and constant pressure is 
, the standard entropy change 
of the same reaction is 
, which one of the following statements is correct?
A
, the reaction is spontaneous B
, the rcaction is non-spontaneous
C
, the reaction is spontaneous D
, the reaction is non-spontaneous
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Thus, the reaction is Spontaneous as 
is negative.
Now, Since the system loses the heat, the surrounding must gain it and therefore,
