Question 17 4 pts A reaction that begins spontaneously progressively becomes less spontaneous as the reaction proceeds. Consider the equation below and explain this tendency. AG = AG° + RTIn([Product]/[Reactant]) O P/R decreases so RTIN(P/R) is larger O The reaction loses thermal energy with time O P/R increases so RTIN(P/R) is larger O There is less reactant so entropy increases
