Match appropriately in the space provided.
1.___ΔH is negative a. Will contribute to spontaneity
2.___ΔS is positive b.Will not contribute to spontaneity
3.___ΔG is negative c. Will be spontaneous
4.___ΔH is positive & ΔS is negative d. Will not be spontaneous
5.___ΔG =-RTLnK e. Is at equilibrium
f. Will be spontaneous at low temps
g.Will be spontaneous at high temps
Solution:
1.___ΔH is negative f. Will be spontaneous at low temps
2.___ΔS is positive g.Will be spontaneous at high temps
3.___ΔG is negative c. Will be spontaneous
4.___ΔH is positive & ΔS is negative d. Will not be spontaneous
5.___ΔG0 =-RTLnK e. Is at equilibrium
a. Will contribute to spontaneity
b.Will not contribute to spontaneity
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
For spontaneous process, delta G should be negative always.
:When Delta H is negative then -delta H is negative and its large negative value is possible when T is lower because TΔS should be lower than delta H
:When Delta S is positive then -TΔS is negative and its large negative value is possible when T is higher.
:When ΔH is positive & ΔS is negative, then delta G is always positive hence non-spontaneous.
: At equilibrium delta G0 =-RT ln K
