The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given conditions is not favorable for the feasibility of a reaction, we need to analyze the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) for each condition. The feasibility of a reaction is typically assessed based on whether ΔG is negative (indicating the reaction is spontaneous and feasible) or positive (indicating the reaction is non-spontaneous and not feasible). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Gibbs Free Energy Equation**: \[ \Delta G = \Delta H - T \Delta S \] Where: - ΔG = Gibbs free energy change - ΔH = Enthalpy change - T = Temperature (in Kelvin) - ΔS = Entropy change 2. **Analyze Each Condition**: - **Condition A**: ΔH is positive, TΔS is positive, and TΔS > ΔH. - Here, ΔG = ΔH - TΔS = positive - positive. Since TΔS > ΔH, ΔG will be negative (feasible). - **Condition B**: ΔH is negative, TΔS is positive. - Here, ΔG = ΔH - TΔS = negative - positive. This will also yield a negative ΔG (feasible). - **Condition C**: ΔH is negative, TΔS is negative, and ΔH > TΔS. - Here, ΔG = ΔH - TΔS = negative - negative. Since ΔH is greater in magnitude than TΔS, ΔG will be negative (feasible). - **Condition D**: ΔH is positive, TΔS is positive, and ΔH > TΔS. - Here, ΔG = ΔH - TΔS = positive - positive. Since ΔH is greater than TΔS, ΔG will be positive (not feasible). 3. **Conclusion**: - The condition that results in a positive ΔG is **Condition D**. Therefore, this condition is not favorable for the feasibility of a reaction. ### Final Answer: **Condition D** is not favorable for the feasibility of a reaction. ---
