Question

For a spontaneous process

• A. Both Free energy and entropy decrease
• B. Free energy increases
• C. Free energy decreases whereas the entropy increases
• D. Free energy is zero

Hint:

A spontaneous process tends to result in an increase in entropy, which aligns with the second law of thermodynamics.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

For a process to be spontaneous, the free energy must decrease, while entropy (a measure of disorder) typically increases.
