A reaction is not feasible if

A

`DeltaH` is positive and `DeltaS` is also positive

B

`DeltaH` is positive and `DeltaS` is negative

C

`DeltaH` is negative and `DeltaS` is also negative

D

`DeltaH` is negative and `DeltaS` is positive

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
A reaction is non-spontaneous if `DeltaS` is negative and `DeltaH` is positive as both the factors are opposing factors.
