#### Question 11
**Which of the following processes is/are nonspontaneous at all temperatures?**

1. An ionic compound dissolves in water with ΔH = -146 kJ.
2. \( 4NH_3(g) + 5O_2(g) \rightarrow 6H_2O(g) + 4NO(g) \) with ΔH = -906 kJ.
3. \( C (graphite \ at \ 1 \ atm) \rightarrow C (diamond \ at \ atm) \) with ΔH = +126 kJ.
4. \( H_2O(l) \rightarrow H_2O(g) \) with ΔH = +40.7 kJ.

**Options:**
- \( \bigcirc \ \) 1
- \( \bigcirc \ \) Both 1 and 4
- \( \bigcirc \ \) 3
- \( \bigcirc \ \) 2
- \( \bigcirc \ \) Both 1 and 2

---

**Additional Information**:

- The question aims to determine which reactions are nonspontaneous, i.e., they do not occur on their own at any temperature.
- The spontaneity of a process can be determined using Gibbs free energy (\( ΔG \)), where a positive \( ΔG \) indicates a nonspontaneous process.
- Enthalpy change (\( ΔH \)) and temperature are factors in calculating \( ΔG \), but to unequivocally determine a process's spontaneity without \( ΔG \) values, both enthalpy (\( ΔH \)) and entropy (\( ΔS \)) must be considered.

#### Explanation:

- **Choice 1:** Indicates an exothermic dissolution process with a negative \( ΔH \). Exothermic processes are typically spontaneous, but without knowing \( ΔS \), it cannot be declared nonspontaneous.
  
- **Choice 2:** An exothermic reaction (negative \( ΔH \)) releasing significant energy. Such processes are usually spontaneous.
  
- **Choice 3:** Endothermic process (positive \( ΔH \)) transforming graphite to diamond, might be nonspontaneous unless there's a high positive entropy change (\( ΔS \)).
  
- **Choice 4:** Phase change from liquid water to gas which requires energy
