Mass and atoms are the properties conserved in every ordinary chemical reaction.
Hope this helps!
Explanation:
<h3>PLA is a polyester produced by fermentation under controlled conditions of a carbohydrate source like corn starch or sugarcane. ... The starch is then mixed with acid or enzymes and heated. This process “breaks” starch into dextrose (D-glucose), or corn sugar.</h3>
<h3>PLA is a polymer made from high levels of polylactic acid molecules. </h3><h3>For PLA to biodegrade, you must break up the polymer by adding </h3><h3>water to it (a process known as hydrolyzing). Heat and moisture are required for hydrolyzing to occur.</h3>
<h3>PLA consists of renewable raw materials and is biodegradable in industrial composting plants. </h3><h3>However, due to the lack of infrastructure, it is difficult to </h3><h3>compost PLA industrially or to</h3><h3> recycle it.</h3>
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "C) The reaction is spontaneous at high temperatures."
Since dH is positive and dS ~ 0 then -TdS ~ 0, meaning dG will always be greater than 0 so t<span>he reaction is spontaneous at high temperatures.</span>
