C) The △G is positive and the reaction is spontaneous.arrow_forwardIf a reaction is spontaneous, does that mean it will be fast?arrow_forward
- For the reaction A → B at 298 K, the change in enthalpy is −7 kJ · mol−1and the change in entropy is −25 J · K−1 · mol−1. Is the reaction spontaneous? If not, should the temperature be increased or decreased to make the reaction spontaneous?arrow_forwardThe following is an example of a _____________________reaction.CH3CH2OH CH2 => CH2 + H2Oarrow_forwardBriefly describe or explain the difference between a "spontaneous" reaction and a "non-spontaneous" reaction.
