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:
= 9.28 g CO₂
Explanation:
First write a balanced equation:
CH₄ + 2O₂ -> 2H₂O + CO₂
Convert the information to moles
7.50g CH₄ = 0.46875 mol CH₄
13.5g O₂ = 0.421875 mol O₂
Theoretical molar ratio CH₄:O₂ -> 1:2
Actual ratio is 0.46875 : 0.421875 ≈ 1:1
If all CH₄ is used up, there would need to be more O₂
So O₂ is the limiting reactant and we use this in our equation
Use molar ratio to find moles of CO₂
0.421875 mol O₂ * 1 mol CO₂/2 mol O₂=0.2109375 mol CO₂
Then convert to grams
0.2109375 mol CO₂ = 9.28114 g CO₂
round to 3 sig figs
= 9.28 g CO₂
