Which of the following statement(s) is/are true? (Select all that apply.) ASuniy = ASsys + ASsurr O If ASuniv is zero, the process has no tendency to occur, and the system is at equilibrium. O To predict whether a process is spontaneous, we must consider the entropy changes that occur both in the system and in the surroundings and then take their sum. O The total entropy of the universe is constant, but the energy is increasing. O If ASuniv is positive, the process is spontaneous in the opposite direction. O The second law of thermodynamics states that in any spontaneous process there is always an increase in the entropy of the universe.
