alleryStart learning →A reaction has ΔH positive and ΔS positive. When is it spontaneous?
AAt low temperature only
BAt no temperature
CAt all temperatures
DAt high temperature
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. At high temperature
The TΔS term must outweigh the positive ΔH, which happens at high temperature.
