Statement 1: An exothermic process, non-spontaneous at high temperature, may become spontaneous at low temperature.

Statement 2: With decrease in temperature, randomness (entropy) decreases.

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

With Δ H<0, Δ S<0, Δ G=Δ H-TΔ S=Δ H+T|Δ S| is positive at high T and negative at low T: I correct. Lowering T lowers the entropy of the system and so reduces the unfavourable T|Δ S| term. II is correct and explains I. Answer (a).
