Read the descriptions of physical or chemical changes in the table below. Then decide whether the change will be spontaneous, if you can. Change Two liquids mix, neither absorbing nor releasing heat. During an endothermic chemical reaction, a gas is consumed and a liquid produced. An endothermic chemical reaction between two liquids results in gaseous products. Is this change spontaneous? Yes. O No. O Can't decide with information given. Yes. O No. O Can't decide with information given. O Yes. O No. O Can't decide with information given.
