Answer:
a. spontaneous
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, since the Gibbs free energy is a metric that allows us to know whether a chemical reaction is spontaneous (Gibbs free energy less than 0) or nonspontaneous (Gibbs free energy greater than 0) we can mathematically define it as:
Thus, if the enthalpy is negative and the entropy is negative, the subtraction become always negative, for which the Gibbs free energy is negative as well, therefore, based on the aforementioned, any process with a negative change in enthalpy and a positive change in entropy will be: a. spontaneous.
Best regards.
