Solutions are a type of mixture.

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of particles so small that they cannot be seen and cannot be filtered out.

Definition: Homogeneous mixture looks the same.

I grabbed these from my science notes, hope this helps.

How does evolution work

sergey [27]

Billions of years ago, according to the theory of evolution, chemicals randomly organized themselves into a self-replicating molecule. This spark of life was the seed of every living thing we see today (as well as those we no longer see, like dinosaurs). That simplest life form, through the processes of mutation and natural selection, has been shaped into every living species on the planet.

Answer:

When $\Delta H^o < 0$ and $\Delta S^o > 0$

Explanation:

The spontaneity of a reaction can be determined by the sign of the Gibbs free energy change. For a spontaneous reaction, the change in Gibbs free energy should be negative, meaning:

$\Delta G^o = \Delta H^o - T\Delta S^o < 0$

Since the temperature value here corresponds to the absolute temperature, this implies that T > 0 for any T. Therefore, to have a negative difference for any temperature value, the first term, the change in enthalpy, should be negative and the change in entropy should be positive, so that we always subtract a positive number from a negative number. This corresponds to a negative value in $\Delta G^o$ .
