हिन्दीWhich of the following chemical reactions is endothermic yet known to proceed spontaneously under appropriate conditions?
Correct answer · Option 1
\( \text{C}(\text{graphite}) + 2\text{S}(\text{l}) \rightarrow \text{CS}_2(\text{l}) \)
Explanation
\( \text{C}(\text{graphite}) + 2\text{S}(\text{l}) \rightarrow \text{CS}_2(\text{l}) \) has \( \Delta_r H^\ominus = +128.5\text{ kJ mol}^{-1} \), an endothermic reaction showing that decrease in enthalpy is not the sole criterion for spontaneity.
