Q. An endothermic reaction is found to have $+ve$ entropy change. The reaction will be

COMEDKCOMEDK 2015Thermodynamics

Solution:

Given, $\Delta S = + ve$ and $\Delta H = +ve$
Now, $\Delta G = \Delta H - T \Delta S$
For a reaction to be spontaneous, $\Delta G$ should be -ve, which is possible only at high temperature i.e. when $T\Delta S > \Delta H$
