Chemistry · The second law of thermodynamics: Spontaneity of processes, Delta S of the universe and Delta G of the system as criteria for spontaneity
At temperature of the reaction is Temperature
At temperature \( 1000^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, \Delta G \) of the reaction \( Z n O+C \rightarrow Z n+C O \) is Temperature
- A. -ve
- B. \( +v e \)
- C. zero
- D. nothing can be said
Step-by-step solution
The reaction ZnO(s) + C(s) → Zn(s) + CO(g) is endothermic (ΔH > 0) and has a positive entropy change (ΔS > 0) due to the formation of gas. At high temperature (1000°C), the TΔS term dominates, making ΔG = ΔH - TΔS negative. Thus, ΔG is negative (-ve).
