If the enthalpy and entropy change for a reaction at $298 \ K$ are $-145 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ and $-650 \ J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$ respectively,which one of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    $\Delta G = -50 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,the reaction is spontaneous
  • B
    $\Delta G = -48.7 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,the reaction is non-spontaneous
  • C
    $\Delta G = +50 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,the reaction is spontaneous
  • D
    $\Delta G = +48.7 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,the reaction is non-spontaneous
