Qu What can you determine about the feasibility of a
reaction if the enthalpy is positive and the entropy is
negative?

1
A. The reaction will usually occur because it is unlikely the
entropy will be greater than the enthalpy.
B. The Gibbs energy will always be positive, and the reaction will
never be feasible.
C. The Gibbs energy will always be negative, and the reaction will
always be feasible.
D. The reaction could be feasible above a certain temperature,

indium, and thallium have three electrons i think

hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only hydrogens and carbons. they can be saturated (those which contain only carbon-carbon single bonds) or unsaturated (those which contain carbon-carbon double or triple bonds) in nature. hydrocarbons can undergo several reactions like substitution, elimination etc.  

on substituting one or more hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbon it results in the formation of haloalkane. as the halogen atoms are large compared to the carbon and hydrogen atoms, due to which the molecular weight increases and the bond become polar because of presence electronegative halogen atom and results in the increase in boiling point of the haloalkane.

thus, the correct option is (b) that is the boiling point of the new compound increases on substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon.
