QUESTION 2
Cold thin surface was placed on the laboratory desk.
In a while, the surface became wormer and wet of the
precipitated drops of water.
Is water precipitation a spontaneous reaction?
No, water precipitation is not a spontaneous
reaction as it requires presence of an object in
the system that is colder than other systems'
objects;
Yes, water precipitation is a spontaneous
reaction as this process release energy in the
form of temperature, i.e. it is an exergonic
process;
No, water precipitation is not a spontaneous
reaction as water molecules in liquid state have
smaller entropy than in the gas state;
Yes, water precipitation is a spontaneous
reaction as it happened spontaneously by itself;
