Answer to Problem 46LC

The two characteristics that a spontaneous reaction shares are free energy and entropy.

Explanation of Solution

An increase in the entropy favors the formation of the products which means for a reaction to be spontaneous a reaction there should be an increase in the entropy. A reaction is said to be spontaneous if there is some release of energy i.e. negative free energy.

Therefore, free energy and entropy are the two characteristics that are shared by a spontaneous reaction.
