Q.4. Assertion : Spontaneous process is an irreversible process and may be reversed by some external agency.
Reason : Decrease in enthalpy is a contributory factor for spontaneity.

Answer

Answer:(b)

---

Q.5. Assertion : Decrease in free energy causes spontaneous reaction.

Reason : Spontaneous reactions are invariable exothermic reactions.

Answer

Answer:(c) : Exothermic reactions are spontaneous at low temperature but becomes non-spontaneous at high temperature.

Q.9. Assertion : Sublimation of the solid is nonspontaneous.
Reason : Sublimation is endothermic process.

Answer

Answer:(d) : Sublimation of the solid is spontaneous due to increase in entropy.

---

Q.10. Assertion : The sum of q + w is a state function.
Reason : Work and heat are state functions.

Answer

Answer:(c): ∆E = q + w Internal energy is a state function, but not q or w.
