b) Established for S<0.

c) Established for a process in which the work done is a maximum.

d) Illustrated by the migration of a solute from a region of high concentration to low concentration.

e) Required for determination of S by the heat transferred.

f) Implies that the coupling of coupled reaction is very efficient.

Explanation / Answer

a) The reaction can spontaneously proceed to the right A B

b) When S < 0 and H < 0, the process will be spontaneous at low temperatures and non-spontaneous at high temperatures

c) In a reversible process like Carnot cycle, work done is maximum.

d) both spontaneity and reversibility

e)  This applies whether the process is reversible or irreversible
