The correct Answer is:
To determine the conditions that ensure the spontaneity of a chemical process at all temperatures, we can analyze the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) of the process. The spontaneity of a process is indicated by the sign of ΔG: 1. **Understanding Gibbs Free Energy**: The Gibbs free energy change is given by the equation: \[ \Delta G = \Delta H - T \Delta S \] where: - ΔG = change in Gibbs free energy - ΔH = change in enthalpy - T = temperature in Kelvin - ΔS = change in entropy 2. **Condition for Spontaneity**: For a process to be spontaneous, ΔG must be negative (ΔG < 0). 3. **Analyzing the Equation**: - If ΔH is negative (ΔH < 0), it indicates that the reaction is exothermic. - If ΔS is positive (ΔS > 0), it indicates an increase in disorder or randomness in the system. 4. **Combining Conditions**: - If ΔH is negative and ΔS is positive, we can analyze the equation: \[ \Delta G = \Delta H - T \Delta S \] - As T increases, the term \( -T \Delta S \) becomes more negative (since ΔS is positive), which will ensure that ΔG remains negative. - Therefore, under these conditions (ΔH < 0 and ΔS > 0), ΔG will be negative at all temperatures. 5. **Conclusion**: The conditions that ensure spontaneity at all temperatures are: - ΔH must be less than 0 (ΔH < 0) - ΔS must be greater than 0 (ΔS > 0) Now, we can identify the correct option from the given choices based on these conditions. **Final Answer**: The correct option is that ΔH < 0 and ΔS > 0 ensures spontaneity at all temperatures. ---
