Question
Chapter 16, Problem 16.35SP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The following statement has to be justified.
“Exothermic reactions are spontaneous but endothermic reactions are nonspontaneous.”
Concept Introduction:
- Spontaneous process has positive entropy value and negative free energy, enthalpy value.
- Non-spontaneous process tends to proceed with negative entropy value and positive free energy and enthalpy.
- A reaction which proceeds with absorption of heat is called endothermic reaction whereas a reaction which proceeds with release of heat is called exothermic reaction.
