Vedclass · Answer

(B) For a chemical reaction to be spontaneous at constant temperature and pressure,the change in Gibbs energy of the system must be negative,i.e.,$\Delta G_{	ext{sys}} According to the second law of thermodynamics,for any spontaneous process,the total entropy change of the universe (system + surroundings) must be positive,i.e.,$\Delta S_{	ext{total}} = \Delta S_{	ext{sys}} + \Delta S_{	ext{surr}} > 0$. This corresponds to statement $(iv)$.Statement $(ii)$ is incorrect because the total Gibbs energy change for the universe is not a standard criterion for spontaneity.Statement $(iii)$ is not necessarily true because a reaction can be spontaneous even if the entropy change of the system is negative,provided the enthalpy change is sufficiently negative to make $\Delta G$ negative.Therefore,statements $(i)$ and $(iv)$ are always true.
