For those classified as possibly or non-spontaneous, propose additional information/constraints that would move it in to the definitely spontaneous category. In ALL cases, justify your classification. A) a sample of ideal gas in a rigid glass container, initially at 350K, cools to 300K, the temperature of the surrounding room. B) a piece of ice melts C) A 1.00 mol sample of ideal gas, initially at 1 atm and 300K, isothermally contracts to a pressure of 2 atm.
