C is correct.....at ROOM temperature free energy (G) is positive for endothermic reaction and negative for exothermic reaction.....reference new school chemistry ababio page 248.....

C is correct
Entropy of the system reduced
Since entropy of the system decreased and the reaction endothermic there would be a large increase in free Energy
therefore G is positive
🤲


MYSCHOOL,this is a prove that the entropy change can be determined from the balanced chemical eqn. The answer should therefore be C

All the species involved are all gases and the number of moles on the product side is less than that on the reactant side therefore ∆S likely to be negative, T = +ve (room temperature)
∆G = ∆H - T∆S
since ∆S = -ve, ∆T = +ve and ∆G = ∆H - T∆S
therefore ∆G = ∆H - (-ve)
∆H is +ve (given)
so ∆G = +ve (Endergonic/Non spontaneous) {C
}

The answer is C. positive.
Here's why:
* ΔH = +ve: This means the reaction is endothermic, it absorbs heat from its surroundings.
* ΔS: To figure out the entropy change, let's look at the change in the number of moles of gas. There are 4 moles of gas on the reactants' side and 2 moles of gas on the products' side. The entropy change is negative.
* ΔG = ΔH - TΔS: ΔG is Gibbs free energy, ΔH is enthalpy, T is temperature, and ΔS is entropy.
* At room temperature: T is a positive value.
* Putting it together: Since ΔH is positive and TΔS is negative, -TΔS will be positive. Therefore, ΔG will be positive.

my school review this because this , the answer is D because the temperature wasn't given so it will be impossible to determine whether the reaction will be positive or negative so D is correct

From my knowledge, it should be C.
From a different perspective;
if we are given values for this question, ∆H = +(x) , ∆S = -(y)

for G to be negative, H has to be negative and greater than T•S. Please rectify this. This is wrong.
