Products are favoured in a chemical reaction taking place at a constant temperature and pressure. Consider the following statements: $(i)$ The change in Gibbs energy for the reaction is negative. $(ii)$ The total change in Gibbs energy for the reaction and the surroundings is negative. $(iii)$ The change in entropy for the reaction is positive. $(iv)$ The total change in entropy for the reaction and the surroundings is positive. The statements which are always true are:

  • A
    only $(i)$ and $(iii)$
  • B
    only $(i)$ and $(iv)$
  • C
    only $(ii)$ and $(iv)$
  • D
    only $(ii)$ and $(iii)$
