I. Predict whether the following processes are spontaneous as described, spontaneous in the reverse direction, or spontaneous equilibrium. Explain your answer. (a) When a piece of metal heated to 150 °C is added to water at 40 °C, the water gets hotter. (b) Water at room temperature decomposes into H₂(g) and O₂(g), (c) Benzene vapor, C6H6(g), at a pressure of 1 atm condenses to liquid benzene at the normal boiling point of benzene, 80.1 °C. (d) Preparation of sucrose solution at room temperature.
