Solution

A spontaneous process is one that needs no intervention from outside. It is also called a irreversible reaction. It releases free energy and moves to a lower, thermodynamically more stable state. The change in free energy is negative.

Q. Assertion :The thermodynamic factor which determines the spontaneity of a process is the free energy. For a process to be spontaneous the free energy must be -ve Reason: The change in free energy is related to the change in enthalpy and change in entropy. The change in entropy for a process must always be positive if it is spontaneous.
