The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, we will evaluate each statement based on thermodynamic principles. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement-1**: - The statement claims that "All the exothermic reactions are spontaneous." - Exothermic reactions are those that release heat (ΔH < 0). However, not all exothermic reactions are spontaneous. Spontaneity also depends on the change in entropy (ΔS) and temperature (T). Therefore, this statement is **false**. 2. **Understanding Statement-2**: - The statement claims that "For a spontaneous reaction, ΔG must be negative." - This is a fundamental principle in thermodynamics. The Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) indicates the spontaneity of a reaction. If ΔG < 0, the reaction is spontaneous. Therefore, this statement is **true**. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since Statement-1 is false and Statement-2 is true, we can conclude that the correct option is that Statement-1 is false and Statement-2 is true. ### Final Answer: The correct option is: **Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true.** ---
