The correct Answer is:
To determine the conditions for a reaction to be spontaneous at any temperature, we can analyze the Gibbs free energy equation: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Gibbs Free Energy Equation**: The Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) for a reaction 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 reaction to be spontaneous, ΔG must be negative: \[ \Delta G < 0 \] This implies: \[ \Delta H - T \Delta S < 0 \] 3. **Rearranging the Equation**: Rearranging the inequality gives us: \[ \Delta H < T \Delta S \] This means that the enthalpy change must be less than the product of temperature and entropy change. 4. **Analyzing the Signs of ΔH and ΔS**: - If ΔH is positive (endothermic reaction) and ΔS is positive (increase in disorder), the reaction can be spontaneous at high temperatures because the TΔS term can outweigh ΔH. - If ΔH is negative (exothermic reaction) and ΔS is positive, the reaction is spontaneous at all temperatures because both terms contribute to making ΔG negative. - If ΔH is positive and ΔS is negative, the reaction is non-spontaneous at all temperatures. - If ΔH is negative and ΔS is negative, the reaction can be spontaneous at low temperatures. 5. **Conclusion**: For a reaction to be spontaneous at any temperature, the necessary condition is: - ΔH must be negative (exothermic) and ΔS must be positive (increase in disorder). ### Final Answer: The conditions for a reaction to be spontaneous at any temperature are: - ΔH < 0 (ΔH is negative) - ΔS > 0 (ΔS is positive)

For an endothermic reaction to be spontaneous

Dependence of Spontaneity on Temperature: For a process to be spontaneous , at constant temperature and pressure , there must be decrease in free energy of the system in the direction of the process , i.e. DeltaG_(P.T) lt 0. DeltaG_(P.T) =0 implies the equilibrium condition and DeltaG_(P.T) gt 0 corresponds to non- spontaneity. Gibbs- Helmholtz equation relates the free energy change to the enthalpy and entropy changes of the process as : " "DeltaG_(P.T) = DeltaH-TDeltaS" ""..."(1) The magnitude of DeltaH does not change much with the change in temperature but the entropy factor TDeltaS change appreciably . Thus, spontaneity of a process depends very much on temperature. For endothermic process, both DeltaH and DeltaS are positive . The energy factor, the first factor of equation, opposes the spontaneity whereas entorpy factor favours it. At low temperature the favourable factor TDeltaS will be small and may be less than DeltaH, DeltaG will have positive value indicated the nonspontaneity of the process. On raising temperature , the factor TDeltaS Increases appreciably and when it exceeds DeltaH, DeltaG would become negative and the process would be spontaneous . For an expthermic process, both DeltaH and DeltaS would be negative . In this case the first factor of eq.1 favours the spontaneity whereas the second factor opposes it. At high temperature , when T DeltaS gt DeltaH, DeltaG will have positive value, showing thereby the non-spontaneity fo the process . However , on decreasing temperature , the factor , TDeltaS decreases rapidly and when TDeltaS lt DeltaH, DeltaG becomes negative and the process occurs spontaneously. Thus , an exothermic process may be spontaneous at low temperature and non-spontaneous at high temperature. The enthalpy change for a certain rection at 300 K is -15.0 K cal mol^(-1) .
