ΔG is the net energy available to do useful work and is a measure of free energy. If a reaction has positive enthalpy change and positive entropy change, under what conditions will the reaction be spontaneous?
  1. DG will be positive at low temperature hence reaction is spontaneous at low temperature.
  2. DG is negative at high temperature hence reaction is spontaneous at high temperature.
  3. DG is negative at low temperature hence reaction is spontaneous at low temperature.
  4. DG is negative at all temperatures hence reaction is spontaneous at all temperatures.

Answer

(B) D G is negative at high temperature hence reaction is spontaneous at high temperature.
