Which of the following interpretations of the spontaneous chemical reaction is correct? V + W $\rarr$ Y + Z + heat
A) V is written first because it contains more energy than W,Y,or Z.
B) The entropy on the left of the equation is greater than that on the right.
C) The entropy on the right of the equation is greater than that on the left.
D) Entropy has nothing to do with this chemical equation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The increase in entropy on the right side of the equation (F1F1F10) indicates that the reaction is spontaneous. Additionally, the release of heat is also an indication of a spontaneous reaction. Option A is incorrect as the order of representation of reactants and products does not necessarily correspond to their energy levels. Option B is incorrect as it describes a non-spontaneous reaction, where the entropy would decrease on the right side of the equation. Option D is incorrect as entropy is a fundamental concept that governs the spontaneity of chemical reactions.
