For a reaction to be spontaneous at all temperatures :

• ΔG and ΔH should be negative

• ΔG and ΔH should be positive

• ΔG =ΔS = 0

• ΔH< ΔG

For a reversible reaction:

$\mathrm{X}\left(\mathrm{g}\right) + 3\mathrm{Y} \left(\mathrm{g}\right) \rightleftharpoons 2\mathrm{Z} \left(\mathrm{g}\right) ; ∆\mathrm{H} = -40\mathrm{kJ}$, the standard entropies of X, Y and Z are 60, 40 and 50 JK^-1 mol^-1 respectively. The temperature at which the above reaction attains equilibrium is about :

• 400 K

• 500 K

• 273 K

• 373 K
