For a particular reversible reaction at temperature T, ΔH and ΔS were found to be both +ve. If Te is the temperature at equilibrium, the reaction would be spontaneous when

(a) T = Te 

(b) Te > T

(c) T > Te 

(d) Te is 5 times T

(c) : According to Gibb's formula,
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS
Since ΔH and ΔS, both are +ve, for ΔG < 0, the
value of T > Te.
