If an endothermic reaction is non-spontaneous at freezing of water and becomes feasible at its boiling point, then

(a) ΔH is –ve, ΔS is +ve

(b)ΔH and ΔS both are +ve

(c) ΔH and ΔS both are –ve

(d)ΔH is +ve, ΔS is _ve.

(b) For endothermic reaction, ΔH=+ve. Now, ΔG=ΔH-TΔS

ΔG will be +ve when ΔH and ΔS both are +ve and temperature is low so that ΔH> (-TΔS). ΔG will be –ve When ΔH and ΔS both are +ve and temperature is high so that ΔH<(-TΔS).
