Answer:

b) positive enthalpy change and negative entropy change.

c) - delta H.

Explanation:

The total energy or intrinsic energy(heat content) of a system is known as the enthalpy.

Entropy deals with the degree of randomness or disorderliness of a system.

The fraction of the total heat energy of system that does useful work is the Gibb's free energy(G).

  The standard free energy change of system is expressed as:

                   ΔG° = ΔH° - TΔS°

ΔH° is the standard enthalpy change

ΔS° is the standard entropy change

T is the temperature

The sign of ΔG° can predict whether or not a change is spontaneous or not.

if ΔG° is negative, the change is spontaneous or feasible

  ΔG° is positive then the change is non-spontaneous or non-feasible.

  ΔG° is zero, the system is in equilibrium.

From free energy change equation, we see that if ΔH° is positive and ΔS° is negative, the value of the standard free energy change is positive and the reaction is non-spontaneous.

2 . c) - delta H i.e -ΔH

An exothermic change is a change in which heat is liberated to the surroundings. In this change, the surrounding is hotter at the end of the change. ΔH is assigned a negative sign as the sum of the heat contents of the products are less than that of the heat contents of the reactants.

Answer:

b) positive enthalpy change and negative entropy change.

c) - delta H.
