The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, we will break down the concepts of spontaneity, enthalpy, and entropy step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Spontaneity**: - A reaction is considered spontaneous if it occurs without needing to be driven by an external force. For a reaction to be spontaneous, the change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG) must be negative. 2. **Gibbs Free Energy Equation**: - The relationship between Gibbs free energy, enthalpy (ΔH), and entropy (ΔS) at a constant temperature (T) is given by the equation: \[ \Delta G = \Delta H - T \Delta S \] 3. **Analyzing Statement 1**: - Statement 1 claims that a reaction which is spontaneous and accompanied by a decrease in randomness (which implies a decrease in entropy, ΔS < 0) must be exothermic (ΔH < 0). - If ΔS is negative, then -TΔS is positive (since T is always positive). Thus, the equation becomes: \[ \Delta G = \Delta H + \text{(positive value)} \] - For ΔG to be negative, ΔH must also be negative (ΔH < 0). This indicates that the reaction is exothermic. - Therefore, Statement 1 is **correct**. 4. **Analyzing Statement 2**: - Statement 2 claims that all exothermic reactions are accompanied by a decrease in randomness (ΔS < 0). - This is not necessarily true. While some exothermic reactions may have a decrease in entropy, there are also exothermic reactions where entropy increases (ΔS > 0). - For example, the combustion of a substance may produce more gas molecules than were present in the reactants, leading to an increase in entropy. - Therefore, Statement 2 is **false**. ### Conclusion: - **Statement 1** is true: A spontaneous reaction accompanied by a decrease in randomness must be exothermic. - **Statement 2** is false: Not all exothermic reactions are accompanied by a decrease in randomness.
