Q49 / 180 · NEET 2020 (Phase 1) · Chemistry

For the reaction, 2Clg→Cl2g, the correct option is

  • A
    ΔrH>0 and ΔrS<0
  • B
    ΔrH<0 and ΔrS>0
  • Correct answer
    C
    ΔrH<0 and ΔrS<0
  • D
    ΔrH>0 and ΔrS>0

Solution

2Cl(g)⟶Cl2(g)

In this reaction number of gaseous mole decreases hence entropy decreases, ΔrS<0 

Decomposition of Cl2 into gaseous atoms is an endothermic process. Therefore, its reverse is an exothermic process,  ΔrH<0

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
