Answer:

Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

With thermodynamics, one cannot determine the speed of the reaction.

Speed of the reaction is defined as the rate at which one component is changes to another component. With factor cannot be calculated from the thermodynamics branch of engineering.

With thermodynamics we can determine the value of the equilibrium constant,

the extent of a reaction, the temperature at which a reaction will be spontaneous & the direction of a spontaneous reaction. But we cannot determine the speed of a reaction.

Therefore option B is correct.
