(25) The standard reaction Gibbs energy for a chemical
reaction at an absolute temperature T is given by
∆r Go = A − BT
Where A and B are non -zero constant. Which of
the following is T RU E about this reaction?
(A) Endothermic if A > 0
(B) Exothermic if A > 0 and B < 0
(C) Endothermic if A < 0 and B > 0
(D) Exothermic if B < 0

Solution:(Correct Answer:A)
∆Go = ∆H o − T ∆S o
∆Go = A − BT
In endothermic reaction ∆H = +ve. Hence,
A = +ve
