The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that "All reactions which are exothermic are spontaneous." - An exothermic reaction is one where the change in enthalpy (ΔH) is negative (ΔH < 0). - However, spontaneity of a reaction is determined by the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG), which is given by the equation: \[ \Delta G = \Delta H - T \Delta S \] - For a reaction to be spontaneous, ΔG must be negative (ΔG < 0). 2. **Analyzing the Assertion**: - While exothermic reactions have ΔH < 0, they can still be non-spontaneous if the entropy change (ΔS) is negative and large enough to make ΔG positive. - Therefore, the assertion is **false** because not all exothermic reactions are spontaneous. 3. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states that "All reactions in which entropy increases are spontaneous." - An increase in entropy (ΔS > 0) suggests that the disorder of the system is increasing. - However, just having an increase in entropy does not guarantee spontaneity. We must also consider the enthalpy change (ΔH). 4. **Analyzing the Reason**: - For a reaction to be spontaneous, we need ΔG to be negative. If ΔH is positive (endothermic) and ΔS is also positive, the reaction can still be non-spontaneous at low temperatures because ΔG could be positive. - Therefore, the reason is also **false** because it does not account for the enthalpy change. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are false. - Thus, the correct answer is that both A and R are false. ### Final Answer: Both assertion and reason are false.
