Question

Processes are always spontaneous when ________ ( H and S refer to the system).

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

A spontaneous chemical process is one in which product formation is favoured under the specified conditions. A spontaneous process yields the product without an external input of energy.

A spontaneous reaction will always occur when ∆H is negative and ∆S is positive. These are the signs of enthalpy and and entropy change that gives rise to a spontaneous chemical process at all temperatures. Recall that a spontaneous process is one in which ∆G<0.
