If an endothermic reaction occurs spontaneously at constant `T` and `P`, then which of the following is true

A

`DeltaGgt0`

B

`DeltaHgt0`

C

`DeltaSgt0`

D

`DeltaSlt0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Since reaction is endothermic, `DeltaH=+ve`. For the reaction to spontaneous, `DeltaG=-ve`. But `DeltaG=DeltaH-TDeltaS`. For `DeltaG` to be `-ve`, `DeltaS` mus be `+ve` i.e. `DeltaS gt 0`
