Q32 / 225 · JEE Main 2003 · Chemistry

In an irreversible process taking place at constant $\mathrm{T}$ and $\mathrm{P}$ and in which only pressure-volume work is being done, the change in Gibbs free energy (dG) and change in entropy (dS), satisfy the criteria

  • Correct answer
    A
    $(\mathrm{dS})_{\mathrm{V}, \mathrm{E}}>0,(\mathrm{dG})_{\mathrm{T}, \mathrm{P}} < 0$
  • B
    $(\mathrm{dS})_{\mathrm{V}: \mathrm{E}}=0,(\mathrm{dG})_{\mathrm{TPP}}=0$
  • C
    $(\mathrm{dS})_{\mathrm{V}, \mathrm{E}}=0,(\mathrm{dG})_{\mathrm{T}, \mathrm{P}}>0$
  • D
    $(\mathrm{dS})_{\mathrm{V}, \mathrm{E}} < 0,(\mathrm{dG})_{\mathrm{T}, \mathrm{P}} < 0$

Solution

For spontaneous reaction, $d S>0$ an $\Delta \mathrm{G}$ and $\mathrm{dG}$ should be negative i.e. $ < 0$

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