$2Ag + 3N_2 \rightarrow 2AgN_3$; $\Delta H = +ve, \Delta S = -ve$

Vedclass · Answer

(D) The spontaneity of a reaction is determined by the Gibbs free energy equation: $\Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta S$. For a reaction to be non-spontaneous at all temperatures,$\Delta G$ must always be positive. This occurs when $\Delta H$ is positive (endothermic) and $\Delta S$ is negative (decrease in entropy). In option $D$,$\Delta H = +ve$ and $\Delta S = -ve$,so $\Delta G = (+ve) - T(-ve) = (+ve) + (T 	imes +ve)$,which is always positive. Therefore,the reaction in option $D$ is never spontaneous.

Which of the following reactions is expected to never be spontaneous?
