Question

If we look at the thermodynamic equation of crystal growth
ΔGcrystal=ΔHcrystal−T(ΔSprotein+ΔSsolvent)
then the thermodynamics of crystal formation is
Thermodynamically unfavorable
Thermodynamically favorable
Modestly favorable
In an equilibrium state

Answer 1

Explanation:

thermodynamic equation of crystal growth

ΔGcrystal=ΔHcrystal−T(ΔSprotein+ΔSsolvent)

then the thermodynamics of crystal formation is

Thermodynamically unfavorable

Thermodynamically favorable

Modestly favorable

In an equilibrium state

Answer 2

The thermodynamics of crystal formation is "thermodynamically favorable"

Explanation for the above statement:

Basically to determine the thermodynamically favorable or unfavorable condition of the crystal growth is the sign ΔGcrystal to be used.

If ΔGcrystal = (-)ve,

the process will work as spontaneously, so growth of crystal will be thermodynamically favorable.

For positive ΔGcrystal, in this condition the process won't work as spontaneously without the external energy, and the growth of crystal is thermodynamically unfavorable.

When ΔGcrystal almost equal to zero, in the process will occur slowly and here growth of the crystal is modestly favorable.

With above explanation we can say that the thermodynamics of crystal formation is "thermodynamically favorable"
