Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 1E
What is a spontaneous reaction?
Expert Solution & Answer
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The meaning of spontaneous reaction should be determined.
Concept Introduction: The symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of formulae and symbols in which reactants are written on left hand side and the products are written on right hand side is known as chemical equation.
The chemical reaction can be classified as spontaneous and non-spontaneous.
Answer to Problem 1E
Spontaneous reaction is defined as the reaction which occurs without any external source.
Explanation of Solution
The reactions that occurs without any intervention in the given set of conditions is said to be a spontaneous reaction.
When the reactions result in increase in entropy and decrease in enthalpy of the system, thereactions are said to be favorable.
For example, a roaring of bonfire, an exothermic reaction that is energy is released in this reaction and the entropy of the system increases.
Conclusion
The reaction which occurs on its own under the given set of conditions without any external source is known as spontaneous reaction.

Complete the reaction in the drawing area below by adding the major products to the right-hand side.
If there won't be any products, because nothing will happen under these reaction conditions, check the box under the drawing area
instead.
Note: if the products contain one or more pairs of enantiomers, don't worry about drawing each enantiomer with dash and wedge
bonds. Just draw one molecule to represent each pair of enantiomers, using line bonds at the chiral center.
