Answer:
A. releases a large amount of heat
Explanation:
A reaction is said to be spontaneous if it can proceed on its own without the addition of external energy. A spontaneous reaction is not determined by the length of time, because some spontaneous reactions are completed after a long period of time. They are exothermic in nature. An example is the conversion of graphite to carbon which takes a long period of time to complete. Spontaneous reactions are known to increase entropy in a system. Entropy is the rate of disorder in a system.
In the combustion of fire, energy is released to the surroundings as there is a decrease in energy. This is an example of a spontaneous reaction because it is an exothermic reaction, which causes an increase in entropy and a decrease in energy.
Answer:
6.0 L
Explanation:
Use the dilution equation M1V1 = M2V2
M1 = 0.075 M
V1 = 200 L
M2 = 2.5 M
V2 = ?
Solve for V2 --> V2 = M1V1/M2
V2 = (0.075 M)(200 L) / (2.5 M) = 6.0 L
