Process A: A + B --> C   dG = 101.3 kJ/mol
Process B: D --> C + E   dG = -101.3 kJ/mol
If you were tasked with the production of compound C for a pharmaceutical company, which process would you use for it's production based on the data provided and why?
​a

Process A, because it releases more energy.

 b

Process A, because it is a spontaneous process.

 c

Process B, because it releases more energy.

 d

Process B, because it is a spontaneous process.

Respuesta :

Answer;

D. Process B, because it is a spontaneous process.

Explanation;

  • A spontaneous process is one that will occur without any energy input from the surroundings.
  • A spontaneous reaction may involve an increase or decrease in enthalpy, it may involve an increase or decrease in entropy, but it will always involve a decrease in free energy that is a negative ΔG.
  • Therefore; process B is spontaneous since it has a negative ΔG
