Let us consider an endothermic reaction which is non-spontaneous at the freezing point of water. However, the reaction is spontaneous at boiling point of water. Choose the correct option.
(a) Both and are (b) is but is (c) is but is (d) Both and are
- a✓
Both and are
- b
is but is
- c
is but is
- d
Both and are
Both and are
🧠 Endothermic + non-spontaneous at low T but spontaneous at high T → both and For to flip from positive to negative as increases, the entropy term must grow large enough to overcome . This requires .
Since "endothermic" is given: . Spontaneous at but not at : lies between 273 and 373 K. This requires so that at high enough , .
