One reason for learning about the factors that affect spontaneity is that we can use this knowledge in the lab to manipulate reaction conditions in order to favour the production of reactants to product(s) of interest. Which of the following statements accurately describe strategies that are available to a chemist to manipulate the outcome of a reaction? The product can always be favoured by adding heat to the reaction, to drive the equilibrium towards products. If the product is not favoured under standard conditions, there is nothing that can be done to favour the products other than try to produce it a different way (i.e., by using a different reaction). If the product is not favoured under standard conditions, it may be possible to adjust the concentrations of reagents and products in order to favour the forward reaction. If the reaction is enthalpically favoured but entropically opposed, the product may be favoured by lowering the temperature. If the product is not favoured at first, just leave it stirring longer and eventually all of the reactants will be converted to products.
