The tendency of a reaction to take place spontaneously is greatest when the reaction is:
The tendency of a reaction to take place spontaneously is greatest when the reaction is:
Updated On: Jul 19, 2024
- (A) Exothermic and randomness increases
- (B) Endothermic & randomness increases
- (C) Exothermic and randomness decreases
- (D) Endothermic & randomness decreases
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Explanation:
For exothermic reaction negative and if randomness increases it means becomes positive. Thus, according to becomes negative so, the reaction is spontaneous.Hence, the correct option is (A).
For exothermic reaction negative and if randomness increases it means becomes positive. Thus, according to becomes negative so, the reaction is spontaneous.Hence, the correct option is (A).

- Correct statements regarding Arrhenius equation among the following are:
Factor \(e^{-E_a/RT}\) corresponds to fraction of molecules having kinetic energy less than \(E_a\).
At a given temperature, lower the \(E_a\), faster is the reaction.
Increase in temperature by about \(10^\circ\text{C}\) doubles the rate of reaction.
Plot of \(\log k\) vs \(\dfrac{1}{T}\) gives a straight line with slope \(= -\dfrac{E_a}{R}\).
