The following reaction is exothermic. 2N₂O(g) → 2N₂(g) + O₂(g) This means the reaction: A) will be spontaneous at all temperatures B) will be spontaneous only at high temperature C) will be spontaneous only at low temperatures D) is not spontaneous at any temperature

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer
