Q.

For the reaction, 2Cl(g)Cl2(g), the correct option is               [2020]

1 ΔrH>0 and ΔrS>0  
2 ΔrH>0 and ΔrS<0  
3 ΔrH<0 and ΔrS>0  
4 ΔrH<0 and ΔrS<0  

Ans.

(4)

In the reaction, 2Cl(g)Cl2(g), the randomness decreases as 2 moles of Cl(g) are converted to 1 mole of Cl2(g); thus, ΔrS<0.
And this is an exothermic reaction, thus, ΔrH<0.
