The reaction shown below has a positive enthalpy change and a negative entropy change. 2C (s) + 2H2 (g) yields C2H4 (g) Which of
the following best describes this reaction? The reaction will be spontaneous at any temperature.
The reaction will not be spontaneous at any temperature.
The reaction will only be spontaneous at low temperatures.
The reaction will only be spontaneous at high temperatures.
Answer is: <span>The reaction will not be spontaneous at any temperature.

<span>Gibbs free energy
(G) determines if reaction will proceed spontaneously.
ΔG = ΔH - T·ΔS.
ΔG - changes in Gibbs free energy.
ΔH - changes in enthalpy.
ΔS - changes in entropy.
T is temperature in Kelvins.
When ΔS < 0 (negative entropy change) and ΔH > 0
(endothermic reaction), the process is never spontaneous (ΔG> 0).</span>
The elements in the reactants are the same as the elements in the products.
Explanation:
You can't have more or less elements or atoms, but you also can't just have the same number of atoms because then it could be different elements, which can't happen.
Smells travel in the air by diffusion. Because molecules are always moving, some molecules leave the bread as it is baking. They are vented with the excess heat from the oven. These tiny molecules of bread travel through the air throughout the house to our noses.
The Ring of Fire, also referred to as the Circum-Pacific Belt, is a path along the Pacific Ocean characterized by active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes. The majority of Earth's volcanoes and earthquakes take place along the Ring of Fire
