Thermodynamics
Spontaneity of reaction depends on tendency to acquire minimum energy state and maximum randomness.
For a spontaneous process in an isolated system the change in entropy is positive.
The energy involved in the conversion of
to
is given by
Substituting various values from given data, we get
i.e., the correct answer is
For a reaction to be at equilibrium
Since
so at equilibrium
or
For the reaction
Calculating
for the above reaction, we get
At equilibrium,

Let
be the bond enthalpy of
bond then [Note : Enthalpy of formation or bond formation enthalpy is given which is negative but the given reaction involves bond breaking hence values should be taken as positive.

Entropy change for an isothermal reversible process is given by
Bomb calorimeter gives
of the reaction Given,
Given equation,
We know that
G =
H T
S At low temperature :
G is positive (non-spontaneous process), so
H is positive and
S is positive (T
S At high temperature :
G is negative (spontaneous process), so
H is positive and
S is positive (T
S >
H as T is high).
