Give an example of a process that is NOT spontaneous. In exchange, the heat of the person's exertion increases the disorder of the surroundings. Circle the reaction below that you expect to be spontaneous. More moles of gas are produced, so entropy is higher. A more complex molecule is produced, so entropy is higher.
More bonds are formed than broken, so the reaction is exothermic.
Correct answer is 1D, although 1A is okay. Reasons B and E match choice 2. Last Modified December 14, 1998.
