In the past, scientists were surprised that an endothermic process like the one in this lab, could be spontaneous. Which statement correctly describes why it seems like an endothermic process should not be spontaneous? Group of answer choices All endothermic processes create order in both the system and surroundings. Endothermic processes cause heat to flow from a cold object to a hot object. A process that spontaneously takes in energy seems to be analogous to a rock rolling up a hill. Endothermic processes become so cold that molecular motion stops.
If this has a negative value for a process, then the process occurs spontaneously. A. Free energy change (ΔG) B. Entropy change (ΔS) C. Enthalpy change (ΔH) D. Heat of vaporization
