The correct thermodynamic conditions for the spontaneous reaction at all temperatures is

  1. ΔH > 0 and ΔS > 0
  2. ΔH > 0 and ΔS < 0
  3. ΔH < 0 and ΔS > 0
  4. ΔH < 0 and ΔS < 0

Correct answer: ΔH < 0 and ΔS > 0

Solution

For a reaction to be spontaneous at all temperatures, Gibbs free energy (ΔG) must be negative. This happens when ΔH < 0 (exothermic) and ΔS > 0 (increase in entropy), ensuring ΔG = ΔH - TΔS is always negative.
