Answer:
medium
Examples:
A medium is a thing that the sound wave would travel through, like sound waves traveling through air. A mechanical wave cannot travel without a medium, like if the wave were trying to travel through a vacuum.
The release of free energy drives the spontaneous reaction.
Spontaneity can be <span>determined
using the change in </span>Gibbs free energy
(the thermodynamic potencial):
delta G=delta H – T*delta
S
where delta H is the enthalpy and delta S is the entropy.
The direction (the sign) of delta G depends of the changes
of enthalpy and entropy. If delta G is negative then the process is
spontaneous.
In our case, both delta H and delta S are negative values, the
process as said is spontaneous which means that it may proceed in the forward
direction.
E, there is no state of matter that has no particle motion, however a solid's particles are only vibrating.
