Answer:

(A) proceeding without external influence once it has begun.

Explanation:

A reaction that is spontaneous can be described as

(A) proceeding without external influence once it has begun. TRUE. A spontaneous reaction has a tendency to proceed in the way it has begun. It is spontaneous when Gibbs free energy is negative.

(B) releasing heat to the surroundings. FALSE. If the reaction is exothermic (enthalpy negative), one still has to take into account the effect of the entropy on Gibbs free energy.

(C) proceeding in both the forward and reverse directions. FALSE. This just means that the reaction is reversible.

(D) increasing in disorder. FALSE. This means that entropy increases but it is still necessary to take into account the effect of enthalpy on Gibbs free energy.

(E) having the same rate in both the forward and reverse directions. FALSE. This is related to the kinetics but not the spontaneity.

olganol [36]

Suppose the gas is ideal gas. According to the ideal gas equation of state, pV = nRT, the pressure is unchanged. So Vi/Ti = nR/p = Vn/Tn. (i stands for initial and n stands for new) So the new volume Vn = 3.67 L

Hydrogen bonding occurs in molecules when a _____________. (1 point)

Burka [1]

Answer: hydrogen atom of a polarized molecule bonds with an electro negative atom.

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonds are special type of dipole dipole forces which are formed when hydrogen bonds with an electro negative element. Hydrogen bonds are strongest type of bonds .Example: Bond between Oxygen of one water molecule to the hydrogen of another water molecule as shown in the image below.

Covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons among non metals.

Ionic bond is formed by transfer of electrons between metals and non metals.

Which substance can not be decomposed by a chemical change?

slamgirl [31]

The answer is (2) Copper. Because copper is consist of atom. If it is decomposed, the atom will be changed. While chemical change is just the break down and form of chemical bonds between atoms.
