(a)
Interpretation:
Considering the given processes, which process is favoured by energy spread should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Energy is the ability to do work or produce heat. The law of conservation of energy says that theenergy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be converted from one type to another. It is also called the first law of
There are two driving forces in nature namely energy and matter spread. These driving forces are responsible for affecting the reaction to go to completion. Energy spread is the concentratedenergy which disperses widely. It is always for an exothermic reaction. Matter spread meansmolecules spread to occupy a large volume.

- The distance between downtown San Francisco and downtown Oakland is 9 miles. However, a car driving between the two points travels 12.3miles. Of these distances, which one is analogous to a state function? Why?arrow_forwardExplain why the high-temperature reservoir of a heat engine must, indeed, be higher in temperature than the low-temperature reservoir. Can it ever be the other way around?arrow_forwardThe enthalpy of vaporization for water is 40.65 kJ mol-1. As a design engineer for a project in a desert climate, you are exploring the option of using evaporative cooling.
