JEE Advanced levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 3 of 3ec061

A two-electron cell has at 298 K and . Taking , at 298 K and the nature of the cell reaction are

  1. A; the reaction is endothermic but spontaneous because it is entropy-driven
  2. B; the reaction is weakly exothermic
  3. C; the reaction is strongly exothermic
  4. D; the enthalpy equals the Gibbs energy for a galvanic cell

Answer: A

. . . The reaction is endothermic yet because dominates. Option C results from subtracting instead of adding; option D ignores entropy.
