As learnt in

Spontanous process -

\Delta G= \Delta H-\Delta T

 

- wherein

For spontanouse process \Delta G must be negative.

 

 Precipitation of AgCl is a spontaneous process.

Therefore, \Delta G must be negative.

This option is incorrect

Option 3)

\delta G= negative

This option is correct

Option 4)
