Correct Answer: ΔG is -ve


Solution : The correct answer is ΔG is -ve.

For a spontaneous process, the change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG) is negative. The Gibbs free energy is a thermodynamic potential that combines enthalpy (ΔH) and entropy (ΔS) in a system. It is described by the equation:

ΔG=ΔH−TΔS

  • ΔG is the change in Gibbs free energy,
  • ΔH is the change in enthalpy,
  • T is the temperature in Kelvin, and
  • ΔS is the change in entropy.
