For which of reaction listed below will gibbs free energy always be positive?

Guys watch out the question, if your question end with positive then the answer will be An endothermic reaction that decreases in entropy. If the question end with negative then its An exothermic reaction that increases in entropy--APEX hope this help


Is Entrophy change in a system that undergoes a spontaneous process positive negative or zero?

Negative entropy is a process or chemical reaction proceeds spontaneously in the forward direction.Positive entropy is a process proceeds spontaneously in reverse.


A chemical reaction has a positive H value and a positive S value Under what conditions is the reaction spontaneous?

The spontaneity of a reaction is determined by the sign of the Gibbs free energy (ΔG). If both enthalpy (H) and entropy (S) are positive, the reaction can be spontaneous at high temperatures where the TΔS term outweighs the positive ΔH term, resulting in a negative ΔG. This means the reaction will be spontaneous at elevated temperatures.


What is the difference between a reaction that happens spontaneously and a reaction that doesn't?

The difference can be clarified by entropy (the second rule of thermodynamics).The reaction is more spontaneous with higher entropy, for the reactions that occur spontaneously the entropy is higher than for the ones that do not.


How do you determine whether a reaction is spontaneous or non spontaneous?

The first of two factors that determine whether a reaction is spontaneous or non-spontaneous is entropy. The second is energy. For a reaction to be spontaneous, it must have both of these factors.


Is the Gibbs free energy negative in the spontaneous reaction?

Yes, as long as the entropy of the universe increases.


What value should the heat of the reaction have in a spontaneous reaction?

It can be + or - depending on the value of the entropy (∆S). Recall, that ∆G = ∆H - T∆S and for a spontaneous reaction, ∆G must be negative, so you can see how this will depend on the values and signs of both enthalpy and entropy.


What could make G become negative at a given enthalpy and entropy?

Changing the temperature


Does a combustion have a negative entropy or positive entropy?

A combustion reaction typically results in an increase in entropy due to the increase in the number of gaseous molecules formed during the reaction, leading to more disorder in the system. Therefore, combustion generally has a positive entropy change.


Select all the conditions below that are most likely to result in a spontaneous chemical reaction or process?

Exothermic reaction Decrease in entropy Increase in entropy Positive change in free energy Negative change in free energy


Predict whether the changes in enthalpy entropy and free energy will be positive or negative for the freezing of water and explain your predictions How does temperature affect the spontaneity?

The changes in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy are negative for the freezing of water since energy is released as heat during the process. At lower temperatures, the freezing of water is more spontaneous as the negative change in enthalpy dominates over the positive change in entropy, making the overall change in free energy negative and leading to a spontaneous process.
