The enthalpy change for a given reaction at 298 K is – x J mol –1 (x being positive). If the reaction occurs spontaneously at 298 K, the entropy change at that temperature
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
It is because of the fact that for spontaneity, the value of 
G = ( 
H – T 
S) should be < 0. If 
S is – ve, the value of T 
S shall have to be less than 
H or the value of 
S has to be less than 
i.e., 
.
