Purification And Characterisation Of Organic Compounds Question 170
Question: A coupled reaction takes place as follow-
$ A+B\xrightarrow{{}}C+D $ $ \Delta G{}^\circ =+xkj $ $ D+E\xrightarrow{{}}F $ $ \Delta G{}^\circ =-ykj $ for the spontaneity of reaction $ A+B+E\xrightarrow{{}}C+F $ , which of the following is correct-
Options:
A) $ 2x=y $
B) $ x<y $
C) $ x>y $
D) $ x=( y )\times T\Delta S $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
[b] For a spontaneous reaction, $ \Delta G{}^\circ $ must be negative and it can be possible only in this case when $ x<y $
