A process which is unfavorable with respect to enthalpy, but favorable with respect to entropy Group of answer choices could occur at high temperatures, but not at lower temperatures. could not occur regardless of temperature. could occur at any temperature. could occur at low temperatures, but not at higher temperatures. none of the above

could occur at any temperature.

Explanation:

The spontaneity of a reaction is what determines whether the reaction will occur or not. A spontaneous reaction occurs easily.

The spontaneity of a reaction is predicted by the sign of ∆G.

When ∆G is positive, the reaction is not spontaneous. When ∆G is negative, the reaction is spontaneous.

Note that;

∆G= ∆H - T∆S

Where;

∆H = Change in enthalpy

∆S = Change in entropy

T= temperature

If ∆H is unfavourable and ∆S is favourable, the reaction can proceed at all temperatures because ∆G will always be negative.
