Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 18.1QP
What is a spontaneous process? Give three examples of spontaneous processes. Give three examples of nonspontaneous processes.
Expert Solution & Answer
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The definition of spontaneous process, examples for spontaneous and non-spontaneous process have to be given.
Explanation of Solution
Spontaneous process:
The chemical or physical change can takes place by itself without the help of surroundings are called as spontaneous process.
Examples for spontaneous process:
- Melting of ice to liquid.
- Heat transfer from hot object to cold object.
- Rusting of iron to iron oxide.
Examples for non-spontaneous process:
- Photosynthesis process.
- Heat transfer from cold object to a hot object.
- Removal of sugar from a cup of tea.
Conclusion
The definition of spontaneous process, examples for spontaneous and non-spontaneous process were given.
