A reaction has both Δ H and Δ S negative. The rate of reaction

Question

A reaction has both Δ H and Δ S negative. The rate of reaction (A) increases with increase of temperature (B) increases with .decrease of temperature (C) remains unaffected by change of temperature (D) cannot be predicted for change in temperature

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Δ G=Δ H-TΔ S Negative Δ H favours the process. Negative Δ S opposes the process. If temperature is decreased, opposing factor decreases. Hence, rate of reaction increases.

Q. A reaction has both $Δ H$ and $Δ S$ negative. The rate of reaction

increases with increase of temperature

increases with .decrease of temperature

remains unaffected by change of temperature

cannot be predicted for change in temperature

$Δ G = Δ H - T Δ S$ Negative $Δ H$ favours the process. Negative $Δ S$ opposes the process. If temperature is decreased, opposing factor decreases. Hence, rate of reaction increases.
