Question

For a chemical reaction, at 298 Kelvin, the H = (+) and the S = (-). Is the reaction spontaneous or nonspontaneous at this temperature?

The reaction is always spontaneous, regardless of the temperature.

The reaction is always nonspontaneous, regardless of the temperature.

The values of the H and the S would need to be known.  The value of G would need to be calculated, since H is favored and S in not favored.

The values of the H and the S would need to be known.  The value of G would need to be calculated, since H is not favored and S is favored.

A.

The reaction is always spontaneous, regardless of the temperature.

B.

The reaction is always nonspontaneous, regardless of the temperature.

C.

The values of the H and the S would need to be known.  The value of G would need to be calculated, since H is favored and S in not favored.

D.

The values of the H and the S would need to be known.  The value of G would need to be calculated, since H is not favored and S is favored.

Explanation / Answer

G = H - T* S

Since H is positive and S is negative, G will surely be positive

So, reaction will be non spontaneous always
