The correct Answer is:
To determine the spontaneity of a reaction, we can use the Gibbs free energy equation: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Gibbs Free Energy Equation**: The equation that relates Gibbs free energy (ΔG), enthalpy (ΔH), and entropy (ΔS) is given by: \[ \Delta G = \Delta H - T \Delta S \] where \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin. 2. **Identify Conditions for Spontaneity**: For a reaction to be spontaneous, the change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG) must be negative: \[ \Delta G < 0 \] 3. **Analyze the Equation**: From the equation, we can see that: - If ΔH is negative (exothermic reaction) and ΔS is positive (increase in disorder), then: \[ \Delta G = \Delta H - T \Delta S < 0 \] This means that both conditions lead to a negative ΔG, indicating spontaneity. 4. **Evaluate Possible Options**: According to the problem, we need to find which option states that ΔH is negative and ΔS is positive. The options given are: - Only the 3rd and 4th options mention ΔH as negative. - Among these, only the 4th option states ΔS as positive. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct option that satisfies the conditions for spontaneity (ΔH negative and ΔS positive) is option 4. ### Final Answer: The correct statement for the spontaneity of a reaction is that ΔH is negative and ΔS is positive, making ΔG negative. ---
